Anyone know what size coils/how many would be reasonable to cool 5 BBL fermenters/brite tanks???
I've got two stainless 5 BBL brite tanks and 2 3 BBL cylindroconical fermenters that aren't jacketed. I'm going to make my own cooling coils/jackets (I've got my own lathes, mills, welders so making this stuff isn't hard for me), but I've never seen inside the jacket of a professionally built jacketed vessels.
I already have an idea of how I'm going to hold the coils against the vessels and keep them evenly spaced and where I want them, insulation is pretty well figured out as well. . .only thing I haven't spent any time on is the jackets themselves, but that's the last thing I'm going to worry about. I need to figure out how many GPM I need to circulate through the cooling coils before I worry about the jacket>
The flow rate is dependent upon the cooling coil size so I need to figure that out before I can move on.
Thanks!
