A test run on 5.5 gallons of water with my new fermentation temperature control system. In a little over an hour I was able to drop the fermenter from 150°F to 100°F.
I think I can get the reservoir temperature lower by closing the cooler and fermenter lids. It's a $100 1/3 hp aquarium chiller, $10 cooler, and a free sump pump from some bulk buy I did.
This test was to see if the tiny stainless coils in the Anvil system actually cooled and what kind of stress the chiller would go through with warmer temperatures. Cold crash test tonight!
