I've got a 25' copper wort chiller and a 25' copper pre-wort chiller used to chill my 5 gallon batches, but it seems like it takes too long to cool 5 gallons. I'd say it takes about 30 - 45 minutes to get down to 75F, which still isn't as cool as I'd like it, but I just give up after 45 minutes. Could it be that I have the hose water on too high? Is the water flowing too fast through the chiller? I don't think it should take this long to cool the wort, but maybe I'm wrong. How long does it usually take?
