Just recently acquired a counterflow chiller, and was wondering if it is possible to recirculate the wort back into the kettle if the water going into the counterflow chiller is not cold enough to be able to cool a 5 gal batch quickly enough as it comes out of the counterflow directly? (hot Texas ground water)
Is there problems with doing this?
Otherwise it could be HOURS before i have 70F wort to be able to direct to the fermenter.
