I have been reading up and thinking about this all weekend and can't make up my mind. I need a new chiller and have picked out 3 options all will be about the same price and all have their pro's, con's.
Right now I just do 5 gallon batches and the current water temperature is 86f, so I will have to run a pre-chiller with whatever option I go for. Also I have a pump so can make any option work.
1. Shirron chiller
2. 25ft CFC chiller/ rubber hose casing (i.e. http://www.nybrewsupply.com/products/wort-chiller-counterflow.php).
3. 50ft IC with Jamil's recirculation arm for whirl-pooling (http://www.mrmalty.com/chiller.php)
