My HERMS coil just arrived from stainlessbrewing and it looks great. It is 50ft of 1/2" stainless. When I went to fit it in my keggle I realized I have a choice to make between two options:
1. I can have all of the coil under water with about 11 gallons of water but there will be no space in between the coils.
2. I could space the coils and need almost 14 gallons of water to completely cover the coil.
I know the more coils that are submerged the better, but with a 50ft coil does it matter more than having space between the coils? Can anyone advise me?
BTW, the coil arrived in great shape and is perfectly done. I'm very impressed!
