Stainless vs. Copper?
Ready, set, discuss.
Ready, set, discuss.
At this point I'm looking at immersion chillers. Could easily go and buy one from the local hombrew store but thought this was easy enough of a DIY project. I'll have to check on tubing pricing as well.
Copper is a better conductor so I'll probably go that route as I don't have the "bling" that would warrant SS.
Read an interesting article in a recent BYO mag discussing the science behind chiller efficiency. Probably will go 50' copper and try and coil it myself.
SankePankey said:Any way you cut it, 50 feet of 3/8" stainless tubing is not adequate for 15 gallons. More than an hour of stirring with 60 degree chill water.
Retired as a herms coil and starter chiller. Gone plate instead.
What is the fascination with SS? I have brass ball valves, a copper coil, and some aluminum kettles. I haven't died yet.
OMG how are you still breathing? you must be riddled with cancer...
