I am going to build a copper coil wort chiller that uses a bucket with ice water instead of the faucet. It will be made of about 20 or 25' of 3/8" tubing.
How big a submersible pump do I need?
I am looking at a little one at Harbor Freight. It pushes 165 GPH, has a 47" lift and a 1/2" outlet.
Assuming a 20 minutes chill with 5 gallons of water, that would be about 11 cycles.
