After brewing two batches of beer without a wort chiller, I think it might be time to step up the system a bit and go for one. I'm tired of it taking forever for my wort to cool. I am looking at an immersion chiller and also at plate chiller. Which one seems to be easier to use? Which one cools it faster? In the immersion chillers, some are made out of stainless and some are made out of copper... is the copper the better choice? It seems like it would transfer heat better. For the Plate chiller, Is it better to get mroe plates or does this just add problems?
Also, I know nothing about the plate chiller... do you need a pump or something??
I like how on the immersion chiller, you simply put the coil in at the end of your boil to sanitize it and then just run tap water through it...
