I am trying to create a more functional cooling system so I can use less water when I'm cooling the wort.
Inside the cooler I have the incoming water entering through the coils. The brew pot will be placed on top of the cooler so gravity can do its job.
Does the chill plate need a heat sink or is dumping ice on it approve the efficiency? I don't know?
When I ran it I got 3 gallons of boiling wort with a gallon of ice and 1 gallon of down to 66-70° degrees with a slow flow, faster flow brought it to 78-80°
Any thoughts?
