Cedar Rapids Brewing Society

A few weeks ago I ordered a herms coil from thelectricbrewery.com. the reason I went with them is because it specifically stated it fit a 10 gallon blichmann. I am happy To say it was spot on. I got compression fittings from brewhardware.com worked like a champ. I hope to brew on it this weekend. Sent from my LG-US780 using Tapatalk

Upgraded mine to a 50' x 1/2" coil a while back from the stock one from Stout. Made a world of a difference. Love it.

I was using my counter flow chiller bit I wasn't getting the movement in temperature I was looking for, stout makes nice stuff, was the original coil to small?

Yeah, you need 50' of 1/2" to make it usable.

Well good thing I was able to shove 50 feet in a 10 gallon

What sort of ramp rates were you getting with your CFC? I'm typically able to ramp from 148 to 162 in about 10 mins.

It wasn't 10 minutes, maybe I didn't have the eight flow rates?

Usually is was 20-30 min, I am wondering if I had loss of heatelsewhere
