Hello,
I am in the process of setting up my brewery and still need to size a glycol chiller for my sysytem. I have a 7 bbl natural gas brewhouse, 7 7 bbl open fermenters with internal cooling, 3 7 bbl conditioning tanks and 10 7 bbl serving tanks that will be inside a walk in. I have a 1 stage heat exchanger that only has one cooling input for city water. Also, with the used system I bought came with what appears to be a 3.5 bbl tank that has internal glycol coils. This tank has two tri clamp pipe inlets about halfway up. I am thinking this was used as a cold liquer tank, as the heat exchanger is small.
My question is, will a 3.5 bbl cold liquer tank be large enough to knock out my wort for ale temps? What size chiller is recommend?
Thanks!
Ross
