2. Quantum Leap In Fermentor Temp Control

   Posted by dpapsmr on 18th Jun 2018

   Was using a mod. Sankey keg with copper tubing wrapped around it along with an insulating jacket. Consistent trouble keeping ferm temp at 65F (esp. when the ferm was at full blast). Switched to this cooling jacket and was astounded to find that the same chilled water system easily kept the ferm at 65F with half the ice block changes!

4. Jacket works great, and customer services is awesome

   Posted by Rob on 25th Oct 2017

   Received the jacket, extension piece, 500gph pump, and tubing. I set everything up on my Speidel 60L fermenter and a bucket with frozen milk jugs immersed in water, and brewed a 12 gallon batch of a Belgian Dark Strong / Quad with an OG of 1.108, and set it to work. Coupled with my temperature controller (a fermtostat from OhmBrew), a reptile-heating sheet, and a thermowell / blowoff tube assembly in place of the airlock, I was able to keep the temperature down in the mid 60's for 3 days, and started stepping it up progressively through to the mid 80's after a week.
   
   Unfortunately, later in the week, some of the heat-welds in the jacket "popped" out (the black circles that hold it's shape), and one of them sprung a leak. Fortunately, the beer was already fermented, so there was no loss of product. I contacted GottaBrew and Steve immediately sent a replacement, which I received within a week. I'm more than happy with both the customer service and the product, and look forward to many more brews.

5. Worked great on 5.5 gal batch

   Posted by Mark on 10th Oct 2017

   The key is to insulate the fermenter! I used Reflectix from HOme Depot and just wrapped and taped it together.
   
   Fermenting a roggenbier currently and it went from 21C to 17.2C in a couple of hours. Along with frozen one gallon jugs, temps maintain just fine and just need to swap out every 12 hours or so.

6. Dream Come True

   Posted by Michael Carroll on 17th Jan 2017

   If you are like me you researched fermenter temp control soon after you got serious about brewing. From 1 batch in a bucket and cooler to 5 batches in SS brew buckets in a keezer, to 10 gallon batches I have to say that brewing never felt so "pro" until I got the cool-zone setup. My hoppy pils is sitting steady at 55 degrees for 5 days so far. I have only had to switch out my frozen water bottles once and I have peace of mind that my brew is the right temp instead of guessing the ambient temp and hoping the wort matched. I could not be happier. I just ordered 4 more Sanke kegs and will purchase 4 more jackets with the extender as soon as my paycheck allows. Game changer!

7. Should have been using this before

   Posted by Dave Williams on 26th Oct 2016

   I have been home brewing for over 20-years without any temp control. Have to wait until the weather was just right and crank out a couple 5-gallon batches. Now I can brew anytime I want and it's all so compact. I integrated the Jacket into my insulated 6-gallon glass carboy, so that doesn't take up any space. I store the pump and controller in the 28-quart cooler, which just happens to be the perfect size for a 20lbs bag of ice. Right now one batch ferments for a week and it's roughly (2) 20lbs bags of ice per batch. I highly endorse this system for anyone that doesn't have room for a dedicated fridge for fermenting!!!

8. WONDERFUL!

   Posted by Rysn on 13th Sep 2016

   Perfect! Exactly what I was hoping for. It's very cool to see it fill with the cooling water and do it's thing!

9. Exactly the product I have been looking for, for years!

   Posted by Kurt Landthaler on 19th Jun 2015

   I rarely write reviews on anything, and especially not without first putting a product through it's paces. I am currently fermenting my second brew with this item and could not be happier with it!. The first was a 10 gallon Oktoberfest in a 60 liter Speidel fermenter. With the addition of the cooling jacket expansion link (which is also a 1st. class product) it fit and functioned perfectly. Currently fermenting a 5 gallon Hefeweizen in a 6.5 gal glass carboy. Both fermentations have been in my garage, which has wide temperature swings. The Coolzone jacket has worked perfectly with both the large lager and crazy active Hefe fermentations. Remember to insulate the jacket (wish Gotta Brew had an insulation jacket for the Speidel, hint, hint..) as ambient temps can really impact efficiency of any cooling system.

10. Working great for first batch

    Posted by Dan on 6th May 2015

    I've been using it the past 3 days and it's doing a great job of maintaining my fermentation temp (in conjunction with a heat wrap.) I am using it in a room without much of a difference between the ambient temp (67F) and the set temp (65) so I do look forward to trying it at a cooler temp and for trying to cold crash.
