Hi all,
I have 3 questions. First, I'm looking at buying "brewer's glycol", and I'm wondering if it's normal practice to dilute it. If so, what dilution is recommended? Is it OK to dilute with tap water, or is something else recommended? (I suppose the idea behind dilution is just to reduce cost).
Second, what temperature should the glycol reservoir be kept at? My aim is to carbonate cider at around 3 Celsius, or 37 Farenheight. If the reservoir is too cold, maybe it will cause freezing? Too warm, and it will take longer than necessary. So, what's optimal?
Third, what's a good price for brewer's glycol? I'm looking at a quote for about $23/gallon, but that's in Canadian dollars...
Thanks!!
Mike
