Save up your loose change and in no time you can afford a wort chiller. There are a great number of them on the market that retail for $70 - $100. After all the care I take to get the hop profile just right, I'm not going to take any chances of it being altered by failing to cool the wort...

Hope that wasn't a mercury thermometer. If so, toss the whole batch.

I've pledged for the Brew Boss Kickstarter. I chose a pre-made system because I don't have the desire to spend an enormous amount of time researching and building my own electric brewing system. (Kudos to you who have done this!) I also have zero experience in working with electrical systems...

I've pledged for the Brew Boss Kickstarter, hope they are able to make their pledge goal. I really like the look of that COFI unit. The whole system seems well thought out. Thanks for the feedback!
