The IceMaster Max 2 is designed to cool fermentations in small vessels. It features 2 build in submersible pumps with independent digital temperature controllers and can be used with any vessel that has a glycol jacket or submersed cooling coil/rod. Each controller includes a temperature probe that should be inserted into a thermowell in your vessel or can be taped to the outside of the vessel if you do not have a thermowell. The digital controller then measures the temperature of your tank and turns the submersible pump on or off to cool to your desired set temperature. Up to two tanks can be controlled separately with on IceMaster Max2
Capacity It is always difficult to determine exactly how many tanks can be chilled at one time as it depends on what is happening in each tank, if the tank is insulated, and what the ambient temperature is. Cold crashing always requires the most energy and requires tank insulation. This general guide is base on 75F ambient temp and neoprene insulation. Neoprene provides a modest amount of insulation so you would obtain better results using Armaflex or a higher R rated insulation.
Set upIn order to hook up the IceMaster to your fermenter or tank's cooling system, you will need 2 lengths or tubing per vessel. All tubing connections should be secured with hose clamps.
