I just got a new SS counterflow wort chiller for Christmas. Made my first batch with it on Wednesday day night. Hooked everything up and my tap water was coming out about 45 F. I had tested it out previously and it didn't seem to cool enough with the ball valve wide open so this time i only opened about a 1/3 of the way, just enough to get a good flow. I went straight into my fermenter and it came out @ 90 F. I'm impressed it dropped that much in the 30 mins it took me to drain (112 degrees), but what could i do to get it down to pitching temp? I've heard about putting the chiller in an ice bath or running it through twice.
What is everyone else doing here?
