I've found out I have 25' of 1/2" copper tubing and I've seen how you can make it up into a coil and circulate ice water through it with an aquarium or similar pump to cool the wort. My present method (used one time), is to put the pot into an ice bath in my service sink covered and wait 4 hours or so to get down to 90 before dumping into my primary. Question: why would I want the fancy chiller? I'm perfectly fine waiting, the pot is covered so there is little danger of contamination. What's the big deal? Or simply, is the trouble of making one wort it?
