I have been working with coolfit on the piping and they say we are right on the line between two different pipe diameters. The question was ask how many of the tanks will be cooling at a given time, that is jackets open. I can't see this being a 100% but have no idea what realistic estimate is. If it is 75% or under they can go with the smaller pipe and save us money. If it is 75% or higher we have to step up the size. Do you have any idea the answer? We do 60% lagers so hold at 30 for a few weeks.

I sympathize with your desire to save money, but going with the larger pipe size will allow for expansion in the future. Either more tanks or replacing smaller tanks with a larger size.
You don't want to have to redo the cooling system just to add tanks.Mike Lanzarotta
