Hey Everyone,
I'm thinking about trying out no chill and would like some advice, I'm not interested in hearing about why I shouldn't do it. I live in soCal with very little rain. Watching my chiller spew perfectly good water out for 30-40 minutes makes me sick. I water my yard with it and collect it to clean equipment but don't feel this is enough. My thought is to use the immersion chiller for 5-10 minutes until the water coming out has cooled, then transfer to an ale pail to let cool overnight. I heard an Ale Pale with a blowoff tube would work, and I would fill the blowoff vessel with starsan just in case anything did get sucked in. Does anybody have any advice for me, would this work ok? Would buying a better bottle be a better alternative to the ale pale, anything else i should be thinking about as far as procedure or equipment on this?
