Torrence Brewing
It's moving towards summer here and with it means chilling issues (also warm ground water). I'm considering a counter-flow setup but I'm debating between a plate chiller (something like the B3-A23 20 plate from dudadiesel.com) or a normal 25 foot coil CFC. I know there are cleaning concerns with plate chillers but I feel that my current post-boil filter procedure is enough to help and I typically clean my brewing equipment quickly after use. I also have a March pump and a separate pump I use to circulate ice water through my IC. My main concern is with wort loss. I would figure that this would be a con on the side of the 25 foot coil as compared to the plate. Thoughts? My plan with either option is to recirculate back into the kettle.
