Got two tanks that need cooling at the same time? That is exactly what the BrewChill Pro 5500-2, a dual pump glycol chiller, is built for. Two 80 gallon per hour vane pumps come installed from the factory, so there is no second unit to buy and no pump upgrade to add later. Both pumps run off the same thermostat, which means one shared setpoint across both tanks rather than two independent temperatures.
At 5,500 BTU per hour, it holds fermenters and bright tanks up to 1,000 liters, backed by an 18 gallon reservoir. It's a natural fit for a brewery running two fermenters through the same stage at once or a fermenter and a bright tank that both need to sit at the same temperature and the same setup suits small wineries or cideries running two tanks side by side.
Key Features:
- 5,500 BTU/h: Enough for fermenters and bright tanks up to 1,000 liters.
- Two pumps, one setpoint: Both vane pumps run off the same thermostat. Good for two tanks at the same temperature, not for running two temperatures at once.
- 1/2 HP compressor: R290 refrigerant, quiet enough for a taproom floor.
- Small footprint: Fits microbreweries, taprooms and homebrew setups without eating up floor space.
- Plug and play: 3/4" NPT fittings, 6 ft power cord, NEMA 5-20P plug.
- 450 ft glycol line reach: Puts the tanks and the chiller wherever your layout needs them.
- Built to run continuously: 18-gallon glycol tank, two pumps pre-installed.

The brewery chiller sizing calculator is worth running through if you want to confirm 5,500 BTU across both pumps covers your current tank setup. As production grows, many breweries move up to the BrewChill Pro 7500-2 for its higher output and 208 to 230 volt duty cycle. Have questions before you order?
