I'm building another homemade IC. My first one is fine for small batches but I have a 20gal kettle now and want something that will chill this down in 20min. I know my choices and have chosen an IC with whirlpool.
My choices for tubing thickness are K,L, and refrigeration. I believe those are in order of wall thickness, K being thickest. Then there's whether to use 3/8" OD or 1/2" OD. And finally, I can get lengths of 20' or 60' in the K or L, and 50' for the refrigeration tubing.
So what would you recommend? The refrigeration tubing is lightest and therefore cheapest. But if theres a good reason to use something else I'm all ears.
