So, we haven't had much time to brew the past couple of months, but managed to brew twice last month. Just got the water bill. Ouch! We only brewed two 5-gallon batches, and put the chill water to good use on the vegetable and flower gardens, but still... the bill was double what we're use to seeing!
So, even tho we're past the worst of it (we are... right?), for future reference, and because we do intend to brew at least two (maybe three) times in September, I was wondering if any long term locals or natives had any water saving tips without breaking the other bank by spending big bucks on a big plate chiller.
This guy has an interesting recycling concept:

Anyone try it or something similar they wanna share?
Cheers!
