Icemaster Glycol Chiller – wort chiller & fermentation temp control – Save $75 + Hands on Review!

Icemaster 100 Glycol Chiller with Stainless Bulkheads GLY351

Icemaster 100 Glycol Chiller with Stainless Bulkheads via MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

The Icemaster is designed to cool fermentations in small vessels. It can be used with any vessel that has a glycol jacket or submersed cooling coil/rod. For each vessel you want to cool you will need to buy one of our Glycol Pump Kits. Each tank is able to be separately temperature controlled. Each Glycol Pump Kit includes a submersible pump that is placed in the cool bath of this chiller along with a digital controller. The digital controller includes a thermal probe that should be inserted into a thermal well in your vessel or can be taped to the outside of the vessel if you don’t have a thermal well. The digital controller then measures the temperature of your tank and turns the submersible pump on or off to cool to your desired set temperature. Up to four tanks can be controlled separately with one Icemaster and four Glycol Pump Kits (GLY355).

Compatibility
The Icemaster can be used with any fermenter that has a built in cooling jacket or a submersed cooling coil. It works well as the cooling source for the following sytems and fermenters.

  • Ss Brewtech Fermenters and Brites with optional FTS Temperature Control Systems: Because FTS systems include a pump and controller you will not need to buy a separate Glycol Pump Kit.
  • Spike Conical with Optional Cooling Package – Because the optional Spike cooling system includes a pump and controller you will not need to buy a separate Glycol Pump Kit.
  • Speidel Tanks with Optional Cooling Jackets – You will need one Glycol Pump Kit for each tank.
  • Grainfather Fermenters – Grainfather fermenters have standard cooling jackets. You will need one Glycol Pump Kit for eash fermenter
  • Blichmann Fermenators with Optional Cooling Coil – You will need one Glycol Pump Kit for each Fermenator.

It is always difficult to determine exactly how many tanks can be chilled at one time as it depends on what is happening in each tank, if the tank is insulated, and what the ambient temperature is. Cold crashing always requires the most energy and requires tank insulation. We have experimented with capacities and can provide this general guide based on a 75 degree ambient and neoprene insulation. Neoprene does not provide much in the way insulation so you would obtain better results using Armaflex or a higher R rating insulation. If only controlling fermentation temps the capacity would be higher. Four Glycol Pump Kits (GLY355) is the maximum that will fit in the Icemaster. We are working on smaller glycol pump kits, where the pumps have smaller footprints, so the Icemaster right now has the capacity to use 5 pumps through the bulkhead fittings.

Cold Crashing capacity at 75F with neoprene insulation (double for fermentation temperature control):

2 – 1BBL (31 Gallon) Tank with neo
3 to 4 – 1/2BBL (15-20 Gallon) Tanks
4+ – 10-14 Gallon Tanks
4+ – 5-7 Gallon Tanks

Inkbird ITC-308 Digital Temperature Controller| Review

Make sure the components you use are compatible and rated for your intended application.  Contact manufacturer with questions about suitability or a specific application.  Always read and follow manufacturer directions.

Ranco Temp Controller vs Inkbird

RANCO ETC-111000 Digital Cold Temperature Control New

Ranco ETC (Electronic Temperature Controller) model 111000.  Single stage digital temp controller,

Use as an overriding thermostat to control your compatible kegerator chest freezer, refrigerator or fermentation chamber.  I believe this is an unwired unit.  If that’s the case, you need to manually wire it yourself.

Ranco or Inkbird?

Why would you choose this over something like the Inkbird Dual Stage Temp Controller?

  • For homebrewing applications, Inkbird ITC-308 series controllers are going to be tough to beat. They offering dual stage temp control and are generally economical.
  • The Ranco is generally more expensive and offers fewer features when compared to the ITC-308.
  • In my opinion, the advantage that the Ranco does have is… ruggedness.  These are built for commercial applications.  This question in my mind is… do you need a rugged commercial quality unit?  If yes, then this is a controller you may want to look at.

Controls 2 Devices! Inkbird ITC-608T, 1,800 Watt Dual Stage Temp Controller + DUAL Temp Probes

Inkbird ITC-608T Temperature Controller with Dual Temperature Sensor AC Dual Stage Outlet Thermostat with 12 Period Time Stage 1800W ETL Listed

Inkbird ITC-608T Temperature Controller with Dual Temperature Sensor AC Dual Stage Outlet Thermostat with 12 Period Time Stage 1800W ETL Listed

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

  • 【US ETL Certificate Listed 】ITC-608T thermostat temperature controller is ETL listed, and rigorously tested for quality control and safety. More power up to 1800W.
  • 【Main Functions]】Supporting calibration, compressor delay and saving reset setting values. Centigrade or Fahrenheit degree display, easy to set, PV and SV dual display windows. And with compressor delay for protecting cooling device. ITC-608T can save the original setting values in case accidentally power-off.
  • 【Dual Temperature Sensor]】Temperature sensors are waterproof and the temperature control range is -40~212°F (-40~100°C).
  • 【Multiple Functions Temperature and Humidity Control Mode with Dual Relay Output】ITC-608T can work as a temperature controller, a humidity controller, a temperature humidity controller and dual temperature controller.
  • 【Multipurpose Usage】 Temperature and humidity controller ITC-608T can be used in home brewing (refrigerator), fermenting, Greenhouse, terrarium, reptile, planting (mushroom), meat storage and cooking. Max Loading: 120V 15A 1800W.

 

I would say that 1,800 Watt is a higher capacity than many of the homebrew controllers out there.

Click to enlarge.  This has two temperature probes and two “work” outlets.  As outlined in this chart and confirmed to me by the manufacturer, this allows you to control TWO devices at the same time.  That means controlling two fermentation chambers or a fermentation chamber and a kegerator with one single controller. If you’re controller a single chamber, this can function as a dual stage controller. If you’re controlling two devices at the same time, each would be single stage.
