Finishing up our Brewhouse installation (25 BBL, 4 50 BBL fermenters, 1 50 BBL Bright Tank). We were finally told that our 70 BBL Cold Liquor Tank might need to be mixed with up to 35% Glycol mixture with the water in the tank to allow for the Fermenter Jackets to cool to around 25F. Knowing the prices of Glycol this seems ridiculous as this could be $10,000+ for another unexpected cost.
A few questions:
1) Where does one source Glycol in these quantities?
2) What % mixture are you using or have you used for your Cold Liquor Tanks?
3) Does the Glycol need to be Food Grade (Only used in the Heat Exchange and Fermenter/BBT jacketing)?
