Okay, I'm trying to figure out how not to overchill my beer, or find out if this is even a problem. I put together an immersion chiller with 25' 3/8" copper tubing, some polyester tubing to hook up to the sink and to drain it, and fittings to the sink. After the boil was over, I put this...

I've been reading on here off and on for a couple months now, and I read about people buying full sacks of grain. So I'm curious, how much are you all brewing in a year? Personally, as an extract brewer three brews in I'm looking at maybe one 5 gallon batch a month, so 60 gallons a year.
