I have a new to me SS Brewtech Chronical.
It has 2 cooling coils mounted in the lid, one has extensions and the other doesn't.
I brewed a batch with one coil connected no issues - Ale at 65F rooms was 72F
I now have a lager going with two coils connected in parallel, one coil feeds the other coil. 55F 70F room.
I think it would work fine with 1 coil.
Is it normal to have 2 coils?
I am thinking it is worth the effort to mount the coil on the side of the fermentor? Or is that a bad idea?
If I mount in the side wall, I could get the dome lid and possible make CIP easier.
I purchased leg extensions and the stabilizer plate from SSBrew.
I am thinking I also need some robust castors, Not sure the quality of the SSbrew tech ones? Any comments?
