I've been using a CFC with an old IC as a pre-chiller, but I've been wondering if maybe using it as a post-chiller would be even better. We brewed 10 gals yesterday, and even with a pre-chiller and the flow out of the keggle restricted, the wort still ended up at 84'.
Note: I did have some other issues with the pre-chiller fittings restricting flow and coming off and the ice melting before we were done. I'm usually able to get down to 70-75'.
The bad thing about the CFC is that it's a one-shot deal. If it's still too hot, you can't just keep chilling it.
What say you? Is there any difference?
Maybe I should do an experiment to see which one works better.
