hello forum-
sorry to re-hash an old topic, but we are having trouble affording some of the nicer piping options for glycol, and are curious as to what everyone is using.
we are starting a new micro up here in seattle, usa, called odin brewing. have scoured this forum and it's great to see everyone sharing their experience and hard-fought knowledge they've gained.
i have been involved in a start-up build before, but it was in ireland and i can't remember the types of piping we used. we are planning on using sch.80 pvc or abs, un-insulated, for our mains, but cannot decide what to use for piping the jackets....1.5" mains and 3/4" jacket lines...i have heard nitrile, radiator hose, copper, pex, etc...just wondering what people use that is reliable but still affordable...(prob not copper due to tight budget)...
any help or suggestions would be great. i read braided hose somewhere and was wondering which type of braided hose exactly? and does the pex withstand the -27f temps?
thanks again for any help.
cheers,
brian
