I recently talked a friend into helping me build a CounterFlowWortChiller. It has a 1/2od inner copper tube and a larger outer copper tube for coolant water flow. I guess we just made the whole thing too short, (15ish ft) because it does not cool wort effectively at all. We have to slow flow from the BK down to a trickle to get the stuff under 80F. The chiller is pretty looking but pretty useless as well. Does anyone have DIY experience with CFWCs that could tell me what I could have done better? Tube size? Overall length? Am I just doing it wrong?
Here is a picture of the thing.
