You'll need a few parts for this but after that it is basically free to chill the rez during the winter.
You'll need a bucket, water pump, some clear tubing, and some stainless steel worts.
Thats the wort. Put One, two, or more in your rez. I would say 1-50 gallons one is fine. If you have more than one rez thats fine too. You can do as many as needed.They are around $45-$50 each on amazon.
Fill your bucket with water and sit it outside or in the attic. Since its winter the bucket water will stay chilled. Obviously dont let it freeze. So if its that cold put in the attic or bring it in. Drop your pump in and connect the clear tubing to the pump and connect to one side of the wort. You can slip it on the wort and use a worm gear clamp. For two worts usa a T after the pump and for three worts use a cross. For more than three use a second pump and so on. Connect tubing to the other side of the wort and run it back to the bucket so that it dumps back in. It will re circulate and none of the water mixes with the rez water. These worts will get ICE cold when cold water is ran through them.
Thats pretty much it. Run the pump 24/7 or you may need to time it depending on if you have a small rez. The rez water temp can easily drop way below 50 depending on how cold the bucket water is and how big the rez is so you'll have to dial in your own rez.
For those that dont have access to the cold or in the summer etc you can put your bucket inside a mini fridge for or use other diy chillers to cool the bucket and still be able to cool multiple rez's.
