Is anyone currently using a plate chiller in their HERMS setup? I am pondering using my plate chiller instead of adding a coil in a control tank. Any thoughts? Thanks. However, I am inquiring about this for a 3 bbl setup.
Plate chiller would get clogged too easily. You would have to almost run your mash through a filter first to get any particulate out. I wouldn't trust it.
for a 3 bbl system they typically use two chillers. The first chiller is water being chilled by glycol and the second is wort being cold by chilled water. The water is recirculated. The plate chillers are much larger and designed to add and remove plates.
