Nice ! Very neat and clean.
Which chiller is that ?
Do by chance have a photo of your burner mount and kettle supports?
It is the Duda Diesel 30 plate...and man does it drop the temp fast...

I notice on you blog that you are pumping your wort....
recirculating during the mash & pumping your wort threw the Im. Chiller -
instead of pumping cold water threw the chiller, sitting in the wort.
I mean No dis respect... but why ?
I am looking at building a 2 vessel system myself.... and I am looking at all possibilities.
I am trying to keep everything as simple as possible, and only one pump, and only pumping one liquid keeps it simple.
But pumping the chilling water threw the Im. Chiller is a way to clean out the chiller....?
I am just looking for all ideas.
thanks
Hey Steve,
I originally tried cooling by pumping ice water through the immersion coil in the BK but this took about 40 min to bring the wort from boiling to pitching temps. On the next brew day I decided to place the IC in the cooler filled with first 10 gallons of cold tap water (which brings the temp down to around 105-110 degrees) and then 10 gallons of ice water (I simply empty the ice cube tray out of my freezer). Using this method I was able to go from boiling to 66 degrees in 20 min (using only 20 gallons of water).
I recirculate through the IC for the last 10 minutes of the boil to sanitize everything. Then once I have drained my BK I switch the hose coming out of my BK to my cooler and clear the lines. This system has worked great for me an I love the simplicity of no sparge brewing. I have been consistently hitting efficiencies of 70-75%

Do you think there would be any issues with me using a Copper Im. Chiller ?
Any sanitary issues ?
Thanks for the help + I will stop highjacking the thread !
Cheers
I would post my picture....but a bucket & pot do not make a cool sculpture !
Here is mine....
Very nice looking setup you have there. Are you in downtown?

I really liked the front control panel design from nicksteck and the detailed instructions at theelectricbrewery.com were a huge help.
