I know in the ProChiller bumf, they talk about using copper pipe, but I have seen small breweries using stainless and plastic of some sort.
What is the best material to use - for a brewery with a 25 hl chilled liquor tank and initially just a couple of 20 hl FVs and CTs - but with room for perhaps 3 additional FVs and CTs ?
Is there a balance between cost and working life for each of these materials?
What is a sensible size header diameter
And finally, I know Prochiller talk about first in, last out, but is there a real problem, with FiFo as this would save perhaps 15 metres of header pipe.
Thanks
