Proposed Hybrid Chiller Design

[philrose]

someone seems to come up with this idea pretty often and I always am forced to wonder how well it would work if you drilled a hole in the bottom of the bucket and whirlpooled chilling water from a hose (or pump with ice water).

Which design? The one with the water inserted once, or the design with the water flowing through it. I'm also not sure how a CFC can be MORE efficient if this design cools down the water when the CFC cannot.

The one with the wort flowing through a bucket of ice water. I meant more efficient from an energy and cost standpoint, not as it pertains to heat transfer.

sound like you are setting up a still to me.
