I built a 50' IC out of 1/2" copper tubing using Bobby_M's design/instructions and have been quite happy with it for my 10 gallon batches.
I'm stepping up though to (as much as) 20 gallons a batch and am wondering now if I need to upgrade my chiller.
While a PC or CFC would be nice, I'm trying to remain completely unplugged so I'd prefer to stick with the IC concept.
That said, should I make any modifications to what I have? Like maybe adding length or switching to larger diameter tubing or switching to a ribcage design.
Or maybe I don't need to do anything and will be fine with what I have?
Would love your feedback/suggestions. Thanks!
