Hey folks,
I'm building an 200 liters (53 gallons) brewing system, gas heating, and now I dont know which way to go for the chilling.
I live in China, so things are cheaper here.
So far I thougth in 2 options:
Buy 2 counterflow chillers. Since the tap water here is now around 85, I thought to hook them up in series, so the wort out of the first one go in the wort in of the sencond chiller. The first one I would use city water, and the second super cold water/alcohol mix to bring the wort to 18C.
Put some cash in and buy a 2 stage plate chiller, the same one used in the pro breweries. This also will run on city water + water/alcohol or water/glycol mix. But that will limit my $ options for the fermenters.
I'm not considering an imersion chiller. Or shoud I?
If anyone could give some advices, I would be appreciated.
As soon as I start buying the equipment, I will make a tread documenting the building of the brewhouse.
Thanks and brew on! :rockin:
