I am looking to tackle building a counterflow chiller. I have decided to use a length of 3/4 inch black automotive heater hose instead of a standard garden house and 3/8 inch copper tubing.
What I haven't decided on is the length of the chiller. I have seen more 25 foot DIY counterflow chillers then 50 foot chillers and I am wondering if this is based solely on the price of parts or on the ease of build or a combination of price, the efficiency that the additional 25 feet a 50 foot chiller provides as well as the ease of build. Anyone who has tackled this project care to chime in?
Thanks,
David
