This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thanks Brian, you Just earned yourself a Patreon!👍🇺🇸
Thanks Brian, I ordered the quick disconnects and the insulation tubing for my chiller thanks to your informative video!
Nice! 👍🍻
Thank you for the idea
Welcome! 👍🍻
I just purchased the Valved In-Line Hose Barb Couplings thanks to your suggestion. Good job.
They are awesome!! I love mine! 👍🍻
Wow! That was brilliant, Brian!
Thanks!! 👍🍻
Still solid advice and great links!
Thanks! 👍🍻
Thanks for the video. I'm in the market for a glycol chiller and was definitely wondering what to do for lines, so this is a huge help.
Great! Glad you found it helpful! 👍🍻
This is so very helpful.
Glad you found it helpful! 👍🍻
I got these CPC connectors a few years ago they are great
Yeah game changer IMO! 👍🍻
Love this Quick Disconnect idea. I have a Ice Man chilled water recirculation pump when I had knee replacement surgery & that had this same quick disconnect so I dual purposed those for my DIY chiller. Works great.
👍🍻
I love your videos and hope you make some new ones soon!
Brian great job, I have seen some horrific cob jobs of brewing equipment in 46 years of homebrewing, your just the opposite, a master of doing it right with aesthetics!
Thank you sir! 👍🍻
Bad ass threads! I really need to invest in a chilling system.
That shirt is pretty sweet and chillers are nice! 👍🍻
Thanks Brian. This is very helpful as I have also run into these same issues.
Awesome Tim! Glad you found it helpful!
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Just ordered the fittings from Freshwater
Nice!! 👍🍻
The price in your place is very good because it includes the freight. Thank you for the tip.
Great! 👍🍻
I was just trying to figure out how to make the crucible cooling coil work with my glycol system, thanks!
Your welcome! 👍🍻
Interesting video. I only use copper coil wort chiller but got some great insulation idea. Cheers mate 😎👍
Cheers! 👍
I wish I had seen this 2 years ago, SS Brewtech has the same type of connections, not as cheap but the same thing. Makes a huge convenience difference for a glycol chiller to move things around. Great video.
Thanks!! 👍🍻
Yes they do but the have SS internals on the SsBrewtechs.
I can`t find anything like that over here ,so I used john guest type taps the 3/8 beer line type, pair each side so i can shut flow both ends then just pull them out, insulation similar to the armourflex. got some that was left over from the AC install in the bar and restaurant at work.
Well that sounds like a pretty decent solution if you can't find what I'm using. Too bad they don't have those over there in your area Clive! Cheers buddy! 👍🍻
Next fermenter I get I will be making this instead of buying the SS Brewtech one! Thanks Brian! 🍻
Glad you liked it!! 👍🍻
Great video! I also have been using the similar SSBrewTech connections which work great. I have been using the BrewTech neoprene insulation with velcro but, in my opinion, the insulation is too thin and the velcro starts coming apart on me. I like the McMaster-Carr insulation tube idea and just ordered some.
Glad you found it helpful! 👍🍻
Excellent video Brian! I just ordered a set of the fittings for my Stasis chiller. I wish you made this video a few weeks ago, just had my lines fall from where I mount them to the wall when not in use last week. Basically drained my entire chiller on the floor…
Oh no!! Sorry to hear!! Glad it helped going forward! 👍🍻
Hey, how do you like the Stasis? Been waiting for it to come back in stock for a very long time. Not sure if it ever will. Been looking at the Brewbuilt Max 2 / KegLand G20 as an alternative. Let me know what you think when you can. Thanks!
I don't have a stasis.. Unless you were asking the other commenter.
@@joshuapinter I like my Stasis. I do wish it was a little quieter but the performance has been great so far. I use it with a Spike flex fermentor.
can also use neoprene and sew in velcro, like what SBrewtech has, but can be custom built for cheaper that what they offer. It's what I use and works extremely well and is a bit more durable then foam.
Good tip! I'll have to look into it. Thanks for sharing! 👍🍻
The connections you show are the DTLD Series from CPC 'Colder Products Company' from Minnesota US. These are exactly the same connectors SS Brewtech resells. I am using them for almost a year now - an you are 100% right - they are worth every penny. You can actually combine them with the PLC Series from CPC - this way you can even quick-connect different hose diameters together. You dont even need to buy reducers. The PLC series should be availabe for 4 hose diameters, DTLD for at least 2 diameters.
Nice!! Thanks for the info!!
I went and bought 4 shirts though your video sponsor.
Thanks man! 👍🍻
Great info mate! And just before I get myself a glycol chiller👍🍻
Very timely!! 👍🍻
Man, shipping from McMaster-Carr was brutal. But the connectors and insulation arrived yesterday, along with my shiny new Icemaster Max 4, just in time to cold crash my last batch of beer.
Nice!!
just bought some tees, thx!
Nice!! 👍🍻
Thanks for the pointers, both for the connectors and for the insulation. I guess hose barbs are more "universal", but since these are panel-mount connectors, it'd be nice if, e.g., BrewBuilt would just use these on the front panels. Can't say I like the idea of hacking up the front panel of a $700+ chiller, though...
You're welcome! Agree on the chiller issue.
I totally agree QDs and chill lines insulation are a must! Make sure to get the right insulation sleeve size. Otherwise condensation will drip on the lowest part of your system, in my case, the top of my glycol chiller :(
I'm still struggling with fermenter condensation tho. Whenever we brew lager, we end up with the fermenter jackets soaked wet during lagering, which turns moldy almost every time. If you have any good tips, it would be a great idea for a future post.
Ok thanks for the feedback and ideas for content! 👍🍻
Try moving air over your fermenter. A small electric fan may help. We used large fans in the brewery I worked in to prevent mould on the walls.
@@toddgleeson7997 great tip!
@@toddgleeson7997 Thanks for the tip! I guess we’ll be brewing a lager this weekend to test it out! ;)
People helping people!! A beautiful thing! 👍🍻
Is there no potential issues with cooling loss by having both lines in the same insulation tube?
Awesome video, thank you!
The effects are really minimal because once you reach an equilibrium there really shouldn't be much of a loss at all. Maybe during the initial cold crash or chilling down phase you might have a little bit but again it's negligible
@Short Circuited Brewers
Thank you very much! I'm making a 2 fermenter glycol chiller, one of them km doing your method and suggested quick connects. For the other, I got a set of QDs to try that appear to be the same, just singles. Also, I grabbed some splices to hookup my Anvil Bucket system. Your videos help a lot!
Building my system by basically turning a chest freezer into a block of ice with a bucket of glycol in the middle and a pump running to a RAPT controller.
Do you think running the supply and return lines unseparated in a single insulation sleeve will lead to conduction between the lines and a "short circuiting" of thermal energy between the two?
Nah the temperature difference would be negligible. 👍🍻
I noticed that the rated temp for these QD's is 32F to 180F. Do you ever run your lines < 32F? If so, have you noticed any issues with the QD's yet? Guessing there's probably at least 10% margin on these things, but just curious if you have noticed any issues.
So you use 1/4 tubing as opposed to 3/16 for the Anvil?
I use what came will the cooling kit with an adapter I showed to get it up to 3/8.
shout out to mcmaster carr!
👍🍻
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers cheers to mcmaster braj
great solution here Brian. This is the kinda stuff I love about home brewing, always finding improvements. You looking pretty swolt in that shirt! Did you play football?
Thanks!! Haha no football. I have completed in highland games in the past. (Throwing trees and heavy weights) Used to deadlift 600 lbs..
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers thats serious weight braj. i'll bet you would crush the keg toss!
@@Louz_Drumz haha it was fun!
Why no link to the insulation lines?
The only bad thing I found about that conector is the freight to get it. $16 for freight, more than the connector itself.
Yeah shipping sucks sometimes..
Morebeer actually carry something very similar in my opinion a better style connection. Just search beer and gas quick connect.
True but a little costly.
I’ll admit I’m surprised your lines were naked this whole time ....
What?? I'm naked??
thumbs down'd!
Haha!
