Hey guys not sure where to post this
I am getting to the point of looking at buying jacketed uni-tanks, most likely starting with a Brewtools F80 at this stage for use at home. With plans to expand later on (probably a look at a couple of F40's for smaller batches)
I have also been helping a friend go commercial from a beer perspective (he is starting off contract brewing) however we may looking at setting something small scale up long term.
Thinking if I get a Glycol cooling unit I want something that has more capacity then what I currently need, also would be keen to use it to help cool my 4" Dash ( upto a super reflux condenser and 4800w) most likely by using a heat exchange (plate cooler?) to chill the cooling water. Probably setup a tank etc, still thinking this through. Would probably use it to also chill my cooling water for wort chilling as well
Currently using Mains water atm, but have plans to get an IBC and pump setup
To summarize, what are peoples suggestions on a cooling solution that can do the below
[list=]Maintain multiple uni-tank fermentation temp control lets say upto 500L
Help manage Still cooling for a 4" Dash with a Super RC and 4800W
Help reduce cooling water temp for wort cooling for lager temp [/list]
