So I want to brew in summer when the tap water is warm. I went out and bought a prechiller for my wort chiller.
I hooked it up and took water temp readings.
Tap water 81 degrees
prechiller hooked up 78 degrees.
The water the prechiller was in was about 45 degrees
Why is the efcectiveness only 3 degrees?
Have others seen this?
I did notice after swirling the prechiller, the output water dropped to 68 degrees better but still not what I wanted to see.
Is there an effective way to drop this or do I need a plate chiller?
