My LHBS has Wort Coolers.....for around $80.....which I thought was rather high.
Anyway, I ffound a brand new roll of 20' long copper tubing in my basement...so I am going to make my own!
I know that I need to put this into the brew pot around 15 minutes before end of boil to sanitize?? Should I clean it with percarbonate before that also....??
Any advice on use of wort cooler would be much appreciated..
I tell you....piling ice and water in the sink around the brew pot on my first brew was a pain in the but and it took longer to cool than I thought it would.....plus I used all the ice in my icemaker in my freezer....so looking forward to trying a wort chiller.
