I consider myself a beginner, and I have only used ice baths in my utility sink to chill wort. I have 2 extract batches, and 2 all grain batches under my belt.
I don't yet have a wort chiller because I am having a hard time thinking to myself what a waste of water it could be if it takes 20-25min to chill the wort with a chiller
I was going to make my own wort chiller out of 50ft 1/4" copper, and it would be cheap to make, but the ice bath works well to get wort to 78*F in 35min or so.
Any thoughts on any alternatives or should I go with a wort chiller and maybe a thicker copper?
TIA,
Justin
