Versatile and convenient!
Posted by Justin Stevens on 19th Oct 2020
This is a fantastic product I bought this to use with half barrel kegs that have been converted to fermenters. And with the use of a diy glycol chiller I have no issues holding fermentation temps, or cold crashing in a 90 degree garage.

It works!
Posted by Brent Koerner on 16th Jul 2020
This thing works great. And it's surprisingly fast in it's operation. I have it hooked up to a mini-fridge I modified to cool a 33% glycol solution. It maintains temperature like a champion set up on an InkBird thermostat controller. I wrap everything with a towel, which - while it doesn't provide optimum insulation, does prevent/absorb sweat which is nice. Might eventually pair this with the insulated jacket also sold by Gotta-Brew. They're local to me, so I'll just shoot over there some day!

I now have four of these.
Posted by Dave Somers on 14th Jul 2020
I have four of the cooling jackets which I love. Running off of a Icemaster Max4 glycol chiller. I can lager in keg or carboy, can chill to serving temperature in keg, and can control fermentation in fermenter. I am using primarily with corny kegs. Using jacket around keg and using CoolBrewing insulated keg cooler bag.
Very happy.

Temperature of liquid was better than expected
Posted by bertsbbqsauce@yahoo.com on 12th Aug 2019
I used the cooling jacket on a 100 liter stainless steel variable volume tank. Set my Inkbird to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. In a hot trailer that usually was 95 degrees I was able to cool 22 gallons of water to 47 degrees. Later this summer it will have wine in it. Just wanted to check the cooling potential. Couldn’t be happier. Gotta brew came through.

This product provides a simple way to keep my beer cool during fermentation.

Quantum Leap In Fermentor Temp Control
Posted by dpapsmr on 18th Jun 2018
Was using a mod. Sankey keg with copper tubing wrapped around it along with an insulating jacket. Consistent trouble keeping ferm temp at 65F (esp. when the ferm was at full blast). Switched to this cooling jacket and was astounded to find that the same chilled water system easily kept the ferm at 65F with half the ice block changes!

Jacket works great, and customer services is awesome
Posted by Rob on 25th Oct 2017
Received the jacket, extension piece, 500gph pump, and tubing. I set everything up on my Speidel 60L fermenter and a bucket with frozen milk jugs immersed in water, and brewed a 12 gallon batch of a Belgian Dark Strong / Quad with an OG of 1.108, and set it to work. Coupled with my temperature controller (a fermtostat from OhmBrew), a reptile-heating sheet, and a thermowell / blowoff tube assembly in place of the airlock, I was able to keep the temperature down in the mid 60's for 3 days, and started stepping it up progressively through to the mid 80's after a week.
Unfortunately, later in the week, some of the heat-welds in the jacket "popped" out (the black circles that hold it's shape), and one of them sprung a leak. Fortunately, the beer was already fermented, so there was no loss of product. I contacted GottaBrew and Steve immediately sent a replacement, which I received within a week. I'm more than happy with both the customer service and the product, and look forward to many more brews.

Worked great on 5.5 gal batch
Posted by Mark on 10th Oct 2017
The key is to insulate the fermenter! I used Reflectix from HOme Depot and just wrapped and taped it together.
Fermenting a roggenbier currently and it went from 21C to 17.2C in a couple of hours. Along with frozen one gallon jugs, temps maintain just fine and just need to swap out every 12 hours or so.
