I like cold beverages
So I was making a starter this evening and had a cold water bath in the sink all ready for the wort that I made forthe starter and placed the pot into the cold water bath with isome ice and after a few minutes I felt the water start to get warm. Then I started looking around the kitchen and saw a big bowl and thought about how immersion chiller works and then gave my idea of sticking the pot inside the big bowl and running tap water into the bowl and just letting it rise up the sides of the inner pot and overflowing the big bowl down the train. This worked really well.
If I made a larger version of this for use with my partial boils out of the 28 q brewpot, and a large rubbermid plastic tub, how well do you think this idea will work? Can I whirlpool the wort while the water flows around the outside of the pot for more wort contact with the cooler water (and to get hte good effects of whirlpooling)?
