there are some pictures towards the middle/end of my build thread in my signature. I also have a stout 12.5 which still uses a coolzone carboy cooling jacket instead of the coiled discharge hose and a generic 7.3g version as well as the older spike 12.5g clone from american brewer who used to sell them on ebay. and then theres the 14gallon ssbrewing conical with the jacket and coil but I dont have pics of that one... it actually belongs to my business partner that im opening the brewpub with but we keep it at my place for pilot brewing.How big are your conicals? Do you have a pic?
I've got the Stout and the coil actually sits really low (it's about half in the cone). It's good in a sense that i bet you could do a 5 gallon batch in the 16.2 G fermenter, but the top doesn't cool quickly when you're doing a fast drop.
the temps drop fastest in my discharge wrapped conicals and the temp probes come in from the top and at centered or close to it.
EDIT Sorry OP I know off topic..
