Cheers!
Please give me a break on typos. I'm posting from a phone and sometimes its just better to let some imaginary word that sounds like one spelled correctly let sit than time it takes to navigate and fix on this tiny screen.
Ive always depended on an IC. They work well, best if ground water is nice and chilly and better yet if i stir the wort around the IC.
CFCs and plate chillers are extremely impressive temperature reducers. I built a CFC a few yeasts back following a posted tutorial here on HBT - it dropped boiling wort temps to cool very fast. As in from the time it took a gravity fed system to run though 3/8" id copper - boil temp to nearly garden horse temp, a little warmer than the ground water temp used to cool. Very effective mone the less. Thats with water as a wort substitute. Whe i ran wort throgh, the thing plugged but, that's a different topicave found to cool wort effectively and efficiently
My question is, discussion is; what has been the most effective way you have found to cool the cooling water?
Im not sure if it depends on the cooling method, iC, CFC, or plate chiller.
Tell me��
Cheers
