Greetings all,
As a home brewer in DC and with the summer heat I have had a hard time getting my wort down to pitching temp using my immersion chiller. My tap water is simply too warm. So i was thinking I could use my tap water to star the process and then use a submersible pump to move ice chilled water through my immersion chiller. This would both help to get the wort down to a suitable pitching temp and since I am recirculating the water there would be less water usage as well. I was thinking about a 250 gph submersible pump. Thoughts?
Thanks
