Hey everyone! First, thanks for all the responses to all my questions up to this point! I am brewing my first batch tomorrow and have one more question. (At least for now!)
I am working right now on making my immersion wort chiller. I have a 50' piece of 3/8" copper and I formed it to make sure it fits inside my 5 gallon brew pot. My question is, How long does it really need to be? I coiled the entire 50' and it seems to hang out of the pot quite a bit. Can I cut it down and it still be effective? I dont want to risk having my wort touch the copper that is not being sanitized in the boiling brew pot.
