Hi,
I have two open topped 10bbl fermenters cooled by a closed loop glycol line. There are two 3/4 hp pumps which move the glycol. Normally if an air bubble pops up somewhere, I can open the release valve and it would find its way out.
Right now, my glycol lines are "breathing" air is being sucked in from somewhere and then expelled. I have never seen this before. The glycol cannot move because it gets pushed a little, then pulled back a little.
Any suggestions?
