Hi All,
I presently have an immersion chiller which I use to chill my wort. Usually takes me approx 15-20 minutes to get a 10 gallon batch of wort down to 75-80 degrees. I'm thinking of buying a counter flow chiller and was wondering what the pro's and con's are...
I assume this is a much quicker more efficient way of cooling, with less time being spent on cooling and less time the wort has to be exposed to the elements..
Does anyone have any suggestions as to which one to get? 50' vs 25'?? I assume the smaller diameter copper the more efficient?
Cheers,
Frank
