MCED BEF‑03 Glycol Chiller – Cools up to 1,200 L or Five 1 bbl Fermenters

Compact Refrigeration for Fermentation & Cold Crashing

Built in Canada and trusted by thousands of brewers across North America, the MCED BEF‑03 is a high-performance glycol chiller designed for demanding cold-side applications. It features a more powerful 1/2 HP compressor, delivering increased chilling capacity in the same compact, plug-and-play format as the BFE‑02.

With an integrated pump, glycol reservoir, and simple 120V operation, the BFE‑03 is ideal for cooling up to 1,200 L or five 1 bbl fermenters. It’s perfect for controlling fermentation temperatures, cold crashing, and conditioning with reliable, consistent performance — no hardwiring or external plumbing required.

Note: This product ships via LTL freight and does not qualify for standard shipping rates when ordered alone.
