Groundwater temps in Texas are...well, warm.
Since I moved up to 10g batches, my 30' immersion chiller (with recirc arm) is just not keeping up. Pumping city, followed by ice water takes me close to an hour to cool to 68.
I either need to
A) buy/build a bigger 50' imm chiller
B) go with a plate chiller
My rig does have two march pumps, if that helps.
debate and discuss the merits of A and B.....
