Im using a keggle, pump, 25 ft copper pre-chiller, and a CFC when i brew, and i still only get the wort down to about 95. I live in SoCal so my hose water is pretty warm (85) but i thought i would be able to get the temp lower than that. I submerge the pre-chiller in an ice water bath, but it doesnt seem to help as much as i had thought.
Should i have the hose water on full or throttle it back for more contact time in the pre-chiller? I can also reduce the flow of the wort in the CFC from the pump but still only got down to 95.
Whats the best way?
