The 100 qt. is Stainless steel clad
What I mean to say, is the sandwiching ss on either side of a better conductive material, e.g., copper or aluminum?
@Steff: Steff, I've heard good things about the company as well, notably, in terms of their service after sale. I think for me, coming in small, I want to come in as cheaply as possible, in the event
I find people are dying so badly for my brilliance (
), I'd have cause to expand. So I think Sailor's, Jaspar's or Pav's notions are likely steering my course. But thanks very much for
the suggestion. Glad it's working well for you.
@Pav: thanks for the add'l thought, motor with a rheostat of some sort. Very feasible. I also like Sailor's design a good deal - a nice, tight make room, it seems. Good options, gents, thanks.
While I'm here: presuming 6 cows. I know Gianaclis Caldwell, in her book, discusses "more than 3" cows as a possible tipping point, between portable milkers and buckets, and
a pipeline system, in the parlor. I've no real idea of costs, for a small, mostly sweat-equity built, pipeline parlor. Any thoughts on cost-benefit for 6 cows, between the two systems?
I ask, because though I know there's little labor difference between a 30 and a 300 gallon batch of cheese; but there's a tremendous difference in time and labor between 1 cow, and 6. So,
any thoughts, much appreciated.
