4" vs 2" stripper

Postby bluc » Fri Dec 18, 2015 4:04 pm

If the same boiler keg with two 2400w elements is used how much faster is a 4" pot vs a 2" pot. Will a 2" bottleneck the boiler" Providing the condenser is up to task?

I would think the same as long as the condenser is shotgun. go the 4" it will be a bubbler one day. i may have the 2" im testing but an a few months after a move n sorts ill be starting a 4" 3 plate. still testing the 2" though.

If your in doubt go the 4". i will and moneys always an issue here.
