Has anyone considered using a radiator/heater matrix as a wort cooler?
I have one in the attic and haven't got a cooler yet - it was a fiver from an old car... a fair bit cheaper than copper pipe (mine isnt the one above it is copper with aluminium fins)
Is the fact that the fins are aluminium a problem?
I considered either dunking this in the wort with cool water flowing running through it or even passin the wort through it whilst it is submerged in some cold water...
What would the best way to sanitize it do you think?
