Two questions.
I do not have a wort chiller yet, but plan on getting one. I have found a couple of stainless steel chillers that are just a little more expensive then the copper ones. I am thinking stainless would be better, but thought I would ask you folks if you think stainless or copper is best and why?
I now do my cold break in an ice bath. After I put the brew pot in the ice bath and then I stir the wort so that is swirls around the inside wall of the brew pot to drop the temperature more quickly.
I recently had a thought that the stirring may interfere with the cold break, so I thought I would ask to stir or not to stir?
Any other cold break advice will be appreciated.

PS - Thanks everyone - my first beer batches came out pretty good.
