Beer & Brewery Refrigeration Systems
Glycol chilling and beer lines
from a specialist refrigeration team.
Standby installs and maintains glycol tank chilling, beer line and cool room systems for breweries across Sydney and Wollongong, backed by years of hands-on experience fitting out beer systems for breweries, pubs and clubs.
From the tank to the tap
A brewery runs on temperature control from the tank to the tap. Glycol chillers hold fermentation and conditioning tanks at the exact range each beer needs, and beer line systems keep that temperature consistent all the way to the pour. Get either wrong and you're not troubleshooting a fridge, you're troubleshooting a batch. Standby has built its brewery specialism through years of hands-on work on glycol and beer line systems, so the team on site already knows how a batch is meant to run.
What Standby builds for breweries
Glycol tank chilling
Standby installs and maintains glycol chilling systems sized to your tank count and fermentation schedule, so temperature holds steady through active fermentation and conditioning alike.
Beer line systems
Beer line runs from cold room to tap need consistent chilling along the whole length, not just at the source. Standby fits and maintains beer line systems built for that consistency.
Cool rooms & freezer rooms
Breweries also need cool rooms and freezer rooms for grain, hops and packaged stock. Standby specs these alongside the glycol and beer line work so the whole cold chain is handled by one contractor. Full detail on commercial refrigeration.
Around fifteen Marrickville breweries
Standby's brewery specialism comes from years of hands-on work with beer systems, pubs, clubs and commercial kitchens across Sydney and the Illawarra. The business has fitted glycol and beer systems for around fifteen breweries in Marrickville, plus Hawke's Brewery. Standby works with breweries at every stage, from a startup's first tank room to an established brewery's ongoing upgrades, and gives a straight answer on cost before you commit, so you know a job lines up with your budget before it starts.

Common questions
What is a glycol chiller and why does a brewery need one?
A glycol chiller circulates a chilled glycol and water mix around fermentation and conditioning tanks to hold beer at the exact temperature each stage of brewing needs. Without it, temperature drift can throw off a batch or stall fermentation altogether.
Do you work with startup breweries or only established ones?
Both. Standby works with breweries at every stage, from a startup fitting out its first tank room to an established brewery running ongoing upgrades. We give a straight answer on cost before you commit, so the job lines up with your budget from the start.
Do you maintain beer line and glycol systems after installation?
Yes. New installs include maintenance visits in the first year, then a flat per-visit rate covers ongoing checks.
What areas do you service for brewery work?
Standby has fitted glycol and beer systems across around fifteen breweries in Marrickville, plus Hawke's Brewery, and is based in Wollongong, so brewery work across both Sydney and the Illawarra is core territory.
Do you also handle cool rooms and freezer rooms for grain and stock storage?
Yes. Standby specs cool rooms and freezer rooms for a brewery's grain, hops and packaged stock storage alongside the glycol and beer line work, so the whole cold chain runs through one contractor.
