I’m such a show off but I thought you guys would appreciate this. Hooked up a loop on my glycol chiller into my 1" port “pre-chiller” for my heat exchanger and dropped the temp of a 10 gallon batch down to 50 degrees in about 25 minutes. You can see pre-chiller in upper left corner with glycol loop. ![c9e7d0f1aa37e99ca09008bddce33699.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/brewersassociation/original/2X/a/a4e4da4153c282e692edcbce96da4b422c266768.jpeg) Note condensation on kettle! ![c9982ef54c80034fde6afc563c28afef.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/brewersassociation/original/2X/9/9034216b361729cbc39896b82d2499815da07f6b.jpeg) Driving factor: ![39649eb8c44d2a0567d3e5e852fefbc5.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/brewersassociation/original/1X/f051c8dea20d5defd9488ec5b399a6ad0141f1e7.jpeg) ---

We have 4 - 20 bbl FVs and 2 - 30 bbls. I don’t fill them with my old homebrew kettle! 😉 ---

Wow I guess well beyond nano! Very nice. I checked out the site - love the variety of brews on tap. If I’m ever down your way, I’ll make sure to check it out. ---

Not in warranty anymore. It is patched right now.
