I currently use an Immersion chiller, but had some questions about the Counter flow Chiller.
When using the counter flow chiller do you run the water opposite the way the wort is flowing. So the coldest portion of the water is hits the wort last? What do you think about using a combination Immersion/counter flow design where you pre-chill the water using an ice bath with an immersion chiller then hit the counterflow chiller.
I am planning on making a prechiller, but was unsure if I wanted to connect it to another immersion chiller, counter flow, or a plate chiller. I would make the assumption that the Plate chiller would work best, but I don't know that for a fact.
