From those that have done both, which of the 2 have done a better job at cooling your beer. Counterflow or HERMs coil in an ice water bath.
My concerns:
HERMs: Cleaning and sanitizing the the tube during the brewing process; at first glance it seems less efficient
Counterflow: using a lot of water; keeping it clean
My situation:
I own a counterflow, am going to upgrade my system to have a HERMs coil so that 'm not putting direct flame on my mash and was wondering if it would be more economical to just cool with the HERMs.
