Hi folks;
I've been doing bigger boils lately and on Sunday evening I used up every ice cube in the freezer in my attempts to cool down my wort...just before my girl friend came in to make herself a margarita. I was soundly chastised and I am realizing that it's probably time for me to purchase a wort chiller. I've been sleuthing around a little and I have a couple of questions. Does it matter much if the tubing is copper as opposed to stainless? Also, the descriptions I've been seeing describe "garden hose" hook-ups. Does this mean the hose actually attaches to the outside faucet? I still brew in my kitchen (probably not for long, at the rate I'm going- I'm bound to get kicked out soon) and I'm wondering if I can hook the hose up to my kitchen faucet ?
Thanks in advance...
