Edit lol:
Got the controller hooked up to the chiller now. It keeps the antifreeze bucket at 14 degrees c all day every day.

Yo - I have one of these DIY chillers made the exact same way. It's sitting in the house, about ready to put into use. So I am familiar with the making of one and how it works.

Can you give me some information on yours - and the use of antifreeze? Mine is setup to use just plain water and a temperature controller to keep it from going too cold (below 40-35 F), and it pumps that cold water through tubing and through a stainless steel coil that sits in the reservoir.
Is this the same path of water flow as your design; is the only difference that you're using antifreeze? (i.e.: you're pumping cold antifreeze through the reservoir?)

Still reading away bro. Thanks.
