Alternatives to wort chiller

[robo nixon]

The ice bath in the washbasin method was what I used when I first started. It functions reasonably well, but to chill the wort down as quickly as possible while doing so, you must circulate the wort inside the kettle such that warm wort stays in contact with the cooler outside. As a result, you wind up using a lot of ice, so make sure you have one of the LARGE bags of ice on hand on brew days.

Works great for me. The only haze issue I've had was in a dry hopped IPA.

OP hasn't been seen since April 2015. I wonder how everything worked out.
