So my glycol is woking much better now. Mayby too well!
After chilling 2 batches to 35f in 12 hours last week, this week it chilled two to 40/39 in 8 hours but it wont go lower. One of the tanks is same one that worked fine last week.
Temp at probe confirmed by sample from perlik. Refrig guy say unit worrking fine. runnig glycol @ 25-27f
So to confirm temp i measured top of batch through the prv and they both are @ 32/31 on top! No signs of ice though on top.
I had tech change glycol to run at 30/33 and set temps to 50. Im thinking ice on the jackets and letting it melt, then tomarrow morning try to chill to 35. Anyone ever seen an inversion like this? The cold beer should drop and form convection currents and mix the beer??
Other thought is pumping out the bottom and in the perlick but I dont know how well this would mix. Cant use the racking port as I dont have racking arms and the port is capped, no valve.
Comments? Guesses?
