Non aluminum safe Glycol?

[mikeyrb1]

I'm looking to replace our glycol soon and am in the process of searching for a few 50 gallon drums. One company has a food safe glycol that is apparently non-aluminum safe. The other companies don't give any information whether there's is or isn't aluminum safe. I am not aware of any aluminum in our system but that doesn't mean that there isn't any.

So does anyone have any insight to whether non-aluminum safe glycol is ok to use in a normal glycol system?

Do you have any aluminum in contact with your glycol? If not, and it's food-grade, it's fine.

One word of advice: Use colored glycol. We had a ferm develop an internal glycol leak that might have gone unnoticed until the beer was kegged/bottled and the ferm opened for cleaning, had the beer not been green from my blue marker dye.

Hi,
You need to get inhibited glycol and you should never mix different brand of glycols.
I also recommend to send in a glycol sample once a year to your glycol supplier for free check up

Cheers!
