So I built myself a no-weld CFC by re-purposing my DIY IC and using an old garden hose. I also bought one of those mega-cheap sub-$20 Chinese ebay pumps to feed the wort through the CFC.
Well yesterday was brew day and my pump has not come yet. Really worried about my lack of chiller, I decided to roll the dice and try a gravity fed CFC with incredibly small amounts of space between the BK and the CFC and then between the CFC and the corny I was fermenting in. Maybe about 8'' between each- could have been less (I will measure and take a picture after I post this).
I guess my point is that gravity CFC is indeed possible even with limited space! Thank god it worked out!![Mug :mug: :mug:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/sdrinking-100-154.gif)
