We are having difficulty bottling as our beer is too warm.
We are using a 20 hl DME cone bottom unitank as a bright tank. It has two glycol cooling jackets. We have a 5 ton Edwards chiller operating at 30 psi with glycol at 27 degrees, which is within the chiller normal range. There are 2 other 20 hl unitanks, used for fermentation only and the 40 l. surge tank on the filler connected to the chiller. We cannot get the bright beer below 38.5 degrees.
We are bottling on a PPM filler that is 8 feet from the bright tank. The hose from the bright to the bottler is insulated as is the surge tank on the filler. The beer in the bottle is 51.5 degrees.
How do I get the beer cooler in the bright and keep it cooler while bottling?
