My new all copper CFC is having trouble chilling my wort adequately. My cooling water is from an indoor faucet which I measured at around 70F. I can't get it below 80F, and if I turn the wort flow up past the tiniest trickle it jumps to 90-100F. It is hot inside my garage (~78-80F), so I figured it couldn't get below room temp. So I put the chiller in an ice bath. It made NO difference. I was kind of shocked. Has anyone experienced this? With 70 degree tap water I wouldn't expect to be able to cool down to 70, but 80-100???
