Counter Flow Chiller - Config question

[BryanG]

My son and I put together my first wort chiller last night, or mostly put it together. Lots of fun teaching him how to sweat copper. Not so much fun trying to get 20 ft of copper tube in a plastic tube, we managed about 18.5 feet. Question I have is on the config of in and out. Do I want to chill uphill or downhill?

Option A flows Downhill. I am inclined with to go with A.

Option B Flows Uphill.

It seems you would want the chilled wort on the bottom. Especially if you are not using a pump.

Mine is set up as "option A". Honestly, you can do it either way but there is nothing advantageous about going uphill. Gravity is your friend.

Option A.
