I am looking to run 3 14 Gallon conicals of the SS Brewtech variety. My question is more in long term efficiency. I live in MN and these will be in the basement it doesnt get significantly warm down there.

My question is if I want to be able to control ale temps, lager, and cold crash before racking. If I run a glycol system with a window ac unit and a pump how much is it going to have to run the pump/ac unit to keep it at cold crash temps.

For efficiency sake...

Are you better to have 3 stand up freezers with a conical in each?

Is there a calculator somewhere that will compute some of these cycle times?

Someone running a brewpi that has data on this? thinking the average ambient in my basement is around 60* ?
