Size
The size of the winery chiller you choose can affect the quality of your wine. It’s not uncommon to find winery chillers that hold 20 tons of bottle capacity, and you can even get one that’s small enough to fit in a corner of your kitchen.
Energy Efficiency
One of the best features of a good winery chiller is its energy efficiency, an important factor that will impact the quality of the wine you are making. The energy efficiency of your winery chiller will also affect the amount of time it takes for you to age the wine. This will help you make better wines and save money in the long run.
Temperature Control
Achieving ideal fermentation temperatures is essential for preserving the natural aroma, flavor, color, and other qualities of each type of wine. Using glycol chillers to properly regulate the fermentation temperature ensures the desired product quality for every batch. Unlike water-only chillers, glycol chillers use a closed loop, which helps prevent corrosion and clogging of the cooling tubing. Some wine chillers even have an automated system that allows you to adjust the temperature manually via a remote controller. These systems feature a simple, intuitive user interface with dedicated buttons that make it easier for you to set the desired temperature.
