we have a nano in baja that is needing to stop sharing brew space and put together its own system. plastic conicals seems the cheapest for 2.5bbl system, and we are already equipped to deal with no-scratch cleaning/sanitizing, etc. but the cooling is another issue. i've mostly seen stainless cooling coils dropped into the tank, or AC units cooling coffin boxes for each fermenter.
we already have a glycol system, although its fairly oversized. so stainless is as simple as finding a supplier for the coils. anyone know of a place to get them? are they custom fabricated?
the other option is the AC controlled coffin box. easy to build, AC units are cheap, although coolbots dont seem that cheap. but easy to put that together.
so what is the consensus on which method is more practical? easier to maintain? etc. we would still need a stainless brite to crash/carb. then go into kegs.
