I have separate "tanks". One is cold one is hot. It is ran off of cheap solenoid valves to switch on the heating or cooling loop along with the specific pump. I only have one fermentor but I can add to my system if I get more.
There is nothing wrong with sending softened water through an RO system/membrane. In fact, it is advisable if you have very hard water and the RO membrane will last longer. All the sodium that was introduced at the softenter will be removed in the RO system. As many others have stated you...
Here is a pic of my setup using the Brewers Hardware conical. I used the reducer as I had a 3" port available and it also shouldn't clump and jam. Also I have to ability to put one of my PRV valves on top if I want. I don't have it configured that way at the moment.
I received mine last week. First run was Sunday. So far it works great. I have the glycol cooling and heating rigged in a temporary manner. I need to build a box to get it cleaned up.
Again just curious as I have heard it before. I would be interested in a study vs conjecture. I have researched it extensively (i.e. a ten minute google search[emoji4]).
Do you have a source for this? It is often repeated but I don’t believe it to be true(for most antibiotics).
Just curious, I am not advocating drinking while taking antibiotics.
I have two chillers for sale. Prices don’t include shipping. If you want to estimate shipping I am in 67601. If you are interested I can get an exact quote.
Dudadiesel 40 plate chiller. New $75. Selling for $45
Cooper counterflow. New around $200. Selling for $115.
As stated, it seems like Nitric is the standard as it will dissolve iron compounds and create the oxide layer at the same time.

I don’t think you will be able to cold crash with this setup. When I built mine I put plywood on top of the foam board for the floor. This will help with durability.
