I had been thinking about Jamil's wort cooling technique and about surface area for the last week. I love the temps he gets and the time he's getting them, but I don't want to buy a pump (even though I really really want one) and I don't want to clean the pump. So I've been thinking about other ways to increase the entire worts contact with the cold coils with out me leaning over the pot for 30 minutes stirring.
How about an electric motor sitting on top of a lid, with a hole drilled through? Under the lid, a pair of stirrers (a pair of spatulas or something of the sort) could have the wort in a constant whirl around and against the coils. I don't have much experience with small motors, but I'd think that a small fan would do the job.
Does anyone have any suggestions for where I could find a small motor? and the type that would be right for this job? I've looked at some from companies like emerson, but I really don't know much about them.
