Ask a brewer what their least favorite piece of equipment to maintain is....and probably they'll say the glycol chiller. Critical for keeping fermenting beer at the correct temp...but it seems like sometimes always going sideways.
Beer was cold on Monday and room temp on Tuesday because the fan stopped working. Luckily this time it was just a capacitor that was cheap and easy to replace! And while at it....might as well do after-Spring cleanup of all the cottonwood fluff that likes to clog up the fins!
Fan is fired up now and the beer is back to chilling! See you tomorrow for brews.
