I built a 18' cf chiller, 5/8 diameter garden hose, with a 3/8 id copper tube. I'm only getting a 100 degree drop, leaving my wort I. An ice bath in Florida for 4-5 hours to hit pitch.
I think my ID to OD tolerance is too tight. Has anyone run 1" hose, or can recommend the right configuration to get a cold side down to pitch in one shot? I want to stay with the garden hose, not a over back copper contraption if I can.
I have tried, metering the wort flow, in and out, putting the input hose in an ice bath, still about 100 degree drop. I'm a noob to brewing so seeking advice.
My Counterflow chiller design is here on my Blog
