Immersion Wort Chiller

[scorpio_fl]

hey biff, if you already built an im chiller and It's too short all ya gotta do is buy 4 couplings and a short piece of copper of the same size and extend your input and output...much cheaper...

And give it a swirly with a sanitized spoon and it will chill even faster. The pump is best, but even a spoon will make a huge difference.

The spoon was my solution to the wort-chilling thing. It seemed to work pretty well. When you are just starting and experimenting with newtechniques, it gets a little confusing because you can be afraid of screwing something up. How vy-gore-osly would you recommend i stir the pot?

Ask Bub... it's what he does best.

Pope,

Are you suggesting to whirlpool with the spoon right at the end of the boil or to keep whirlpooling the whole time the chiller is running?

Hey,
Per my previous post, I stir to whirlpool, it greatly reduces cooling time.

- I sanitize my spoon before use
- Kill the fire, and move the pot off the cook surface
- kick on the water to the IC
- stir at a medium pace caring not to create bubbles

taadaa!
