Whenever I use my immersion chiller I get a dramatic temp drop very quickly, but getting to the final yeast pitching temperature seems to take forever. I just saw a few YouTube videos of some folks who drop a sub - pump into a cooler filled with water and ice (https://youtu.be/MkLUvFEFwZU). I would probably wait to recirculate the water until the wort drops below 100 degrees, but does this actually work? Does anyone do this and, if so, how much ice/water do you need for a 5 gal batch?
Thanks!
Thanks!
