Glycol chiller

I've been using RV anti freeze in the glycol chiller but it tends to freeze up if I pull the temp below 29F.  So I dumped this out and replaced it with 3 gallons of glycol.  The pumps would not move the stuff... so I added 2 gallons…

Angels with a Dark Heart | Oak Aged Imperial Stout 13%
