BREWERY GLYCOL CHILLERS
AMERICAN BCK Series-Brewery Chillers

Brewery chillers used in the fermentation and pull down (cold crashing) process typically circulate 28F degree glycol for 33F degree beer. Brewery chillers run at temperatures below 32F (freezing) and thus require glycol (HVAC type anti-freeze).


1.5 HP to 80 HP.

Packaged Brewery Chillers (with tank and pump). Most brewers install their glycol chillers outdoors in a package (all in one) type design.
Modular Brewery Chillers (no tank or pump). Typically used in growing breweries. If the existing chiller is not adequate to keep up with the capacity of the brewery, a modular unit can be added as a booster chiller or be installed in new installation planning for growth.
Multiple circuits are available in single phase power for sizes above 5 ton when 3 phase power not available.

American Brewery Chillers are engineered with premium refrigeration components, similar to the systems required to run supermarket refrigerators and freezers.

Every chiller ships with a chiller remote control panel for indoor installation so the brew master can easily control the chiller.
