Since then I have added a second chiller and pump I got for cheap on craigslist and use that to circulate pre-chilled water through the main chiller (circulates from a small cooler full of ice water). This can quickly bring the wort down to whatever temperature you want. Before in the Florida...

Overkill is definitely the most appropriate username ever. This is a great thread, keep the posts coming!
