Wort cooler

[tahoetavern]

I have seen two types of copper wort Emerson coolers. One where the coil is put in an ice chest, and the wort goes through the inside of the pipe. And one where you hook up the chiller to a hose and run cold water through it while swirling it inside your container (bucket, job cooler, keggle etc). I feel like running the wort through the chiller would cool it faster, but harder to clean the residue from the inside of the copper pipe. Pros and cons? Thanks

You've nailed the big ones.
Also, running wort through the chiller doesn't work well with whole hops (unless you have a huge diameter tube which means it needs to be longer).

Unless you ran a false bottom in your mash tun?
