Don't have the bucks for a cold water pump for cooling your wort??
Well never fear. If your a beginner or just can't eliminate groceries for the little woman, go to HomeDepot,Lowes etc. and buy a pump for about $8 dollars that attaches to your favorite drill motor. Buy garden hose converters,adapt down to 3/8......hook to your coiled 3/8 copper tubing that will be in your wort kettle ....and bingo!! Turn the drill on and circulate ice cold water through the copper tubbing cooling your wort in jiffy time. Run the warmer water right back into the ice water container and on and on ! Yes better tasting beer and your not broke from buying a fancy electric pump, that will come in due time!!! I use ice water and pump out of that for cold water to tube supply!
