Greeting Collective,
I'm just about finished with my permitting process to open up here in Ketchikan, Alaska. I'll be starting out small two with 7bbl jacketed fermenters. The brewing area doesn't have heat, but still manages to maintain temps in the 40's to 50's during the winter months and roughly 60's in the summer when the outdoor temps are maybe in the 70's for about six weeks. Which makes me wonder if it's at all possible to heat with a glycol chiller. I'm worried about the beer fermenting to cold, especially when I want to produce wheat beers.
I could heat the building with electric heaters, but heating the air only to cool the beer seems like a waste of energy to me.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Alex
