This IceMaster is designed to manage your
fermentations by cooling water/glycol to
a set temperature in a reservoir which will
then be circulated via a submersible pump
(sold separately) through your specific
cooling coils/jacket/plate/system.
Unpack your unit and open the top cover to find
the power cord and drain plug. Install the drain plug
and place the power cord aside for now.
Attach & clamp the hose to the pump.
Place the pump in the middle of the reservoir -
it should rest at the bottom.
Routing the hose through one of the stainless
bulkheads, extend the hose to the inlet of your
cooling system. This depends on your cooling
system, but the general idea is that we want
the coolant to circulate from the bottom of
your fermenter to the top.
Cut & clamp the hose to the inlet of your
cooling system.
Attach & clamp the remaining hose to your
cooling system’s outlet.
Routing the return hose through one of the
stainless bulkheads, insert the other end of the
tubing into the reservoir below the liquid level.
CHECK FOR LEAKS:
• Plug in the pump to any outlet/extension
cord (not the temp controller).
• Look for leaks where the tubing is connected
to the cooling system.
• If necessary, tighten or re-attach clamps.
Unscrew and remove the 3-piece reservoir
cover.
Fill the reservoir with a 20% propylene glycol
solution - 4 parts RO/distilled/deionized water
to 1 part 99.9% propylene glycol.
If you choose to use water only - it is best to
use tap water as RO/distilled/deionized water
on its own may damage the heat exchanger.

WARNINGS
1.
Freezing can occur so icing in the reservoir is considered normal
operation. To compensate for this we recommend that one uses a
20% propylene glycol solution to lower the freezing point.
2.
Do not set the reservoir temperature controller lower than 28°F
(-2.2ºC). Running the unit below this temperature may negatively
affect the unit’s efficiency and has the potential to freeze beer
which may impact the finished beer’s flavor.
