With Ice or Without... Cool Zone Fermentation Control has you covered!
If you don't have space for a dedicated refrigerator/freezer, use Cool Zone with a Water Cooler or Ice Chest. It will accurately manage your fermentation temperatures for one or multiple fermenters, and it easily packs away when you are done.
If you already have a refrigerator/freezer, use it to cool the water or propylene glycol so you can ferment larger batches or even multiple batches at the same time. Also, you can use the refrigerator / freezer to keep you beer cold (or whatever else you want to store) unlike a fermentation chamber (fermentation chambers are usually too warm for safe food storage).

Advantages of "With Ice"
|
Advantages of "Without Ice"
|
- Excellent temperature control (+/-0.5 degree F)
|
- Excellent temperature control (+/-0.5 degree F)
|
- Control fermentation temperatures for one fermenter, multiple fermenters (same batch), or different batches at the same time
|
- Control fermentation termperatures for one fermenter, multiple fermenters (same batch), or different batches at the same time
|
- Simple to use, easily packs away in the 10-gallon water cooler or you can store your carboys in the enclosures (provide them with some extra padding)
|
- Simple to use, easily packs away when not in use or you can store your carboys in the enclosures (provide them with some extra padding)
|
- No dedicated space for a refrigerator
|
- Use your existing refrigerator/freezer, and avoid cycling the compressor by pluggin it into a standard wall outlet (does not shorten the life of the compressor/appliance)
|
- No ongoing electricity bills for the refrigerator
|
- Let your refrigerator do what it does best, keep food and drinks really cold!
|
- Cools to 39 degrees in a 114 degree environment (75 degrees below ambient!) using ice water as the coolant
|
- Cool the water or glycol used for fermentation temperature control
|
- None of the hassles of ice baths or swamp coolers (temperature swings, hot ferments, stuck fermentations, constantly monitoring the temperature, unable to replicate temperature profile)
|
- No need to monitor ice in the cooler (trouble free fermenting for single fermenters, multiple fermenters, or multiple batches)
