So i did my first full boil (5 gal) today which i was totally stoked about cause i built my own wort chiller...however...after 1 hour i only got it to around 78 degrees.
I think in the future, best practice is 4 gal boil, have 1 gal of water in the fridge, then top off at the end?
my only minor concern is the cold break. I got it down from 212F to 100F in 20 minutes, but the last 30F to get it to 70F was just not happening....at what point does the cold break happen?
Thanks
