Well. Moved to an apartment with no outside access to running water so I built this. I have looked at a lot of different plans and ideas on here so thank you everyone!!!! This is the plan. And don't want to carry 8 gal of hot wort 70 feet to the apartment.
Fill with normal running water and run to get the temp down just a bit.
Drain and fill to the top with ice packs and water to finish cooling.
The PVC pipe in the middle is slotted so the hot water is evenly poured on top instead of going to one side.
Have not used it yet. And I only built this because I have about 50 ice packs i can use. I have read on here this will chew through at least 40 lb of ice.
Will let you know soon how well it works!
