5 Is Not Enough
Well-Known Member
I'd like to build a counterflow wort chiller that would accommodate large batches (25g-30g).
I've heard the term "Glycol Chiller".
I think I understand the concept:
"Reservoir of (Ethylene?) Glycol in freezer, pumping through the counterflow chiller and returning to the reservoir".
Is this the right idea?
If so, can anybody help me determine (roughly)
1) How big of a reservoir?
2) What size and length of inner tubing?
3) Coolant flow rate I may need?
Thanks much for any details you can help me work out!
