Currently calculating cooling requirements, specifically for fermentation. Unfortunately, all my reference books are in storage so I'm having to use educated guess and secondary sources, so :
Estimate 4kg fermentables per 100 litres wort.
Heat of fermentation 652.4 kJ/kg
Fermentation proportions over 5 days : Day1 8% : Days 2-4 27% : Day 5 11%
I know the overall load is relatively small compared to liquor/wort cooling, end-of-fermentation cooling, cellar, etc., but I would like to have a reasonable estimate.
Does this look about right? Comments appreciated.
Thanks,
Gregg
