Im looking at getting a plate heat exchanger for my set up because im using to much water when cooling. Ive looked about and I have few questions so im hoping some of you might be able to help out.
Firstly I know more plates is better, but its also more money so whats worth getting plate wise and whats not. You can get a 10plate 22Kw exchanger on ebay for £26 but is that enough? I dont want to go down the £200 blichmann route.
Second, will I need a pump to get the wort through or would gravity work fine? Id be gutter if I did need a pump as ive just sold my totton pump because I never used it.
Cheers
Jim
