  • Silicone Sleeve for Cooling Snake

    Silicone Sleeve for Cooling Snakes

    1 review

    Use this silicone sleeve to fit a cooling snake into a the existing air lock hole on a Variable Volume Fermenter. Silicone sleeve makes an air tight seal between lid and cooling snake. Note that if you want to use the cooling snake during an active ferment you will need to modify the lid to be fitted with an airlock - we suggest a tri-clover fitting be welded in the top and a piece of tubing connected to this that runs into a bucket of water. We can help you choose the necessary fittings. Dimensions: Bottom OD - 1 5/8" Top OD - 1 15/16" ID - 1 1/8" Dimensions installed on Snake: Bottom OD - 1 3/4" Top OD - 2"

  • Weldless Wine Cooling Plate Kit - 22.5 in. x 47.5 in. - PLACEHOLDER

    Wine Cooling Plate | Stainless Steel | Weldless | 47.5 in. x 22.5 in.

    Cool your fermenting must or wine using this weldless, easy-to-install, 304 stainless steel cooling plate that can be inserted into the lid of any Variable Volume Fermenter. Cold water or glycol is recirculated through the cooling plates thereby reducing the temperature of your ferment. By threading our thermowell (FE616) into the extra 1/2" female coupler that comes on every MoreWine Variable Volume Fermenter and inserting the probe from our digital controller (FE610) you can use a digital controller to automatically control temperature. The controller turns a pump on every time the temperature rises above your set-point, sending coolant through the plate. To build these units we take the stock cooling plates and slide, bored-out, male-threaded couplers half-way down the feed tubes and weld them in place. You drill two 1 1/16 to 1 1/8" holes into the lid. We provide two gaskets and nuts that thread on both sides of the couplers securing the plate in place.  Plate measures 22.5"W x 47.5"H Inlet and Outlet 1/2" Male BSPP thread 300 mm long tubes Bulkheads located approx. 175 mm above the plate 1.44 Square meters of cooling surface Made from 304 stainless steel

  • Cooling Snake - 0.6 Meter - PLACEHOLDER

    Cooling Snake | 0.6 Meters | 0.11 m² Surface Area

    Cold stabilization in one barrel or control fermentation temperatures in a 100L tank. With an overall length of 20 in. this little snake can be used to control temperatures in any small batch. You will need a glycol system or at least a cold or hot water source to connect to the snake. How it works:  This tube-within-a-tube snake is used to recirculate glycol or cooled/heated water through your wine to regulated temperatures. The inner vinyl tube runs through the middle of the corrugated stainless tubing, but is shorter than the stainless tubing. Glycol can run through one tube and back through the other, completing the loop. Use our custom made Snake Bung to make an air tight seal. Slides over the snake and seals it to the barrel or the traditional air lock hole in a variable volume lid (provided the hole is approximately 1 3/4 in. in diameter.) Or punch a 1 3/4in. hole in any tank or lid. Snakes are outfitted with 1/2in. male NPT threads on both the inlet and outlet.  The inlet is at 90 degrees and the outlet is straight. 1 3/8" diameter.  0.11 m² Surface area. Can also be used for heating

How Heat Exchangers Work:
Cooling is simply the removal of heat, and the heat exchanger is where this transfer of energy happens. Whether it's a cooling jacket that's welded on the outside of a tank, or a cooling plate or snake that gets inserted into the wine, the principle is the same. Cold glycol is circulated through a heat exchanger that is in contact with the wine. If the wine is warmer than the glycol it will heat the glycol as it moves through the heat exchanger. This heated glycol then gets carried out of the wine and goes back to the glycol chiller where it is cooled back down again (the heat is removed). The newly cooled glycol is then recycled back through the heat exchanger and the process is repeated.

What kind of heat exchanger is best?:

  • Welded cooling jackets are extremely effective but they are usually reserved for tanks 530 L or larger. (Note: cooling jackets have to be ordered when the wine tank is made. If your tank doesn't already have a cooling jacket, then you will need to look at a cooling plate or snake for your cooling needs.)
  • Cooling plates can be used in both open-topped fermenters and variable volume tanks. (Note: when cooling plates are used in variable volume tanks, the lid will need to be modified by punching two holes in it. The tubes of the cooling plate are passed through these holes and get secured to the lid. Once attached, the cooling plate hangs down from the lid into the wine.)
  • Cooling snakes can be used in open-topped fermenters, barrels and any tank that has a 2" opening at its top (usually there for an airlock or vent). Cooling snakes can be inserted through the hole and held in place using a specialized silicon bung sleeve. One benefit that the cooling snakes have over the cooling plates is that the cooling snakes come in sizes small enough to fit into a barrel or a small tank!
