A connical System

[hopapotamus]

any irish hbs thinking of stocking these ? id say they would sell well if kept at the "mainland" price ......or possably a gb to share shipping?

[johnrm]

Would they ship to Ireland? We have a brouwland distributor.
Maybe talk to HBW about doing a bulk deal...

How would you temp control these

How would you temp control these

Some trace heating tape and a couple loops of copper pipe wrapped around the cone and connected to a beer cooler via a solar pump?

or on the stand in a tall fridge \ STC set-up? would it not fit?

Not too sure that would work well on a plastic wall as it will be fairly resistant.

This one is 9watts/mt

Not sure if you meant electrical or thermal resistance ? If the heating and cooling jackets are covered in reflective foil insulation, then there's nowhere for the heat/coolth to go but into the product

[DEMPSEY]

thermal resistance is what I was thinking of. A copper pipe lightly flattened and coiled around it might have a poor effect especially if you were making a Lager.

[DEMPSEY]

I am also talking to them about cooling them as they are big.

Will did you get anywhere with this.

No but I've got very good a flattening 8 mm copper pipe (by mistake)

The simplest way to cool a vessel would be to wrap say 50 of thin walled, 4 mm ID pvc tubing ( about 50 m) should be cheap in bulk) and pump brine/glycol at 0C as required.

Lag it up with the proverbial "HBrewers duvett" or better and Bob is yer Dads Bro!

Sorry Dempsey I'm an ale man at heart, keep forgetting about Lager......Will, If you're going to that trouble professional CCVs have separate cooling circuits for the body and the cone, a simple addition of a couple of valves would sort this.

Would using pvc tubing not be very poor at cooling as the tubing itself will resist the cooling transfer. My shed build is coming along well and a thought occurred to me to have a few of these hanging in a dedicated temp area but do not want them to look guntered with crappy cooling/heating bits hanging off them.

Looked up CCV on Google and do you mean, Community College of Vermont - CCV or, Community Core Vision: CCV or, Canadian Common CV. Mr don't think so .

Cylindro conical vessels sorry for the confusion
