I am new to brewing and I have a question regarding wort chillers. I have seen counter-flow and immersion chillers. What I have not seen, which I am doing, is using an immersion style design (a coiled 3/8" copper tubing line) submerged in a bucket of ice and running the wort through the line into the fermenter. I have ran 3 batches chilling from boil to ~73 degrees. I have achieved this cooling rate as fast as I can siphon the beer through the coil.
