Thanks, I have measured mine just with my bulkhead and was at half a gallon. Didn't look like the bazooka would be any lower in the cooler than the bulkhead, would prefer not to lose that much water each time

for those that use a bazooka screen with 10 gal round coolers what is your dead space?

I have one cascade in a 20" pot that has several laterals about 30" long each. They have fallen over the side of the pot and are now wrapped back on themselves...growing back up on itself. Is this ok or should I have them grow up the main twine as well? What does everyone do with these laterals?

asking b/c i don't know...what is the advantage of sending the cooled wort back to the kettle instead of direclty into the fermenter?

thanks...ill give the orientation a try when i test it...logic makes perfect sense to me..

this is my previous chiller - used once and sold b/c i wanted NPT threads instead of barbs. my setup is oriented just like this. pump is below so it flows up to the chiller, garden hoses connected directly. oddly enough the one time used this, gravity feeding it worked great...maybe i...

So i haven't been able to connect everything back up but checked water temp again toady - 67F. Also checked flow rate of water at full open at it is a little over 6 gpm. haven't been able to check the flow rate i was using for the wort but it was barely open. Would a clog in the chiller cause...

Totally agree with the temp...2 degrees within water temp im happy with...was just gonna take all night at the trickle i had it flowing at...1/2 gallon every 15 min was gonna take me several hours to cool...i was expected faster than that.

Gonna try it again tonight with water and double check the direction of wort/water but it has garden hose connections so i think it was going the right way..will also mess around with flow of water i guess..

Right after boil last night used my new 20 plate Duda chiller. Water temp was 68, going full blast. Wort was being pumped with Chugger pump. I had to have the wort barely trickling to get 70. anything more and temp would jump way up....is this right? i was filling the fermenter at about 1/2...
