Heh. I like your simple thinking :) but for my system i want everything stainless. all the beer pipes/water pipes will be 3/4" and 1" SS pipe and im using a PLC with temperature inputs as PID's so that i can control and view values/temps from a touch interface...

The price of a big SS pipe for me is irrelevant. I work at a Diary as an automations engineer and we throw away lots of used SS pipes in different diamaters and lenghts, and yes i was thinking of using water to exchange the heat. I have also taken pressure into consideration. That was just...

Hmmm.... yess.... That might work. I must be overthinking everything. I guess i was afraid of burning the wort or something. thanks anyway.
