Have been doing mostly no boil extract, a few boils where I could set the kettle in cool water; now going all grain.
AIUI shops and catalogs are full of wort cooler copper coils that are dropped into the brew kettle and cold water run through till the desired temp is reached.
Last winter I was with some guys who put the coil in the sink, filled the sink with snow and ran the wort through the coil, regulating the temp by adjusting the speed of the wort through the coil.
I will be brewing where there is a limited water supply this fall and the ice in the sink seems to make sense; I would be interested in what I may be overlooking in this arrangement.
