I have been using a copper tube immersion chiller for a while and I thought I would share the method I have been using to cool my wort from boil to 70 as quickly as possible.
1. Fill bucket halfway with water with submersible pump and place it into my chest freezer.
2. Dump all the ice from my fridges ice maker into the bucket.
3. Start brewing.
4. When brew is done, I add 2ish gallons of filtered water directly into the kettle.
5. Run immersion pump, add 20lb bag of ice. Dumping the first couple of minutes of water onto the ground, then putting the outlet into the pump bucket.
6. Rattle the chiller/Stir.
This works great and I found that I get the wort to 70 before I melt all my ice.
