Insufficient Clearance
A minimum of 100mm clearance is required on each side of the chiller to ensure adequate heat dissipation for the condensers. Move the unit into open space to improve cooling efficiency
Insufficient 'bounce back' time
The Benchy Glycol is able to chill about 20-30L of beer per hour
Beer too foamy/frothy
Insufficient CO2 pressure
The CO2 pressure generally needs to be set higher for a glycol setup to keep CO2 in solution. Refer and adjust
