Hi folks,
I’ve been cooling my wort using an immersion chiller for the last couple of years, but hate the amount of water this wastes. I do collect what I need for cleaning, but still waste huge amounts.
I understand that both plate and counterflow chillers are much more efficient, but can anyone say approx how much water they use to cool (approx 27L) from boiling to pitching using either of these?
And I’ve read that plate chillers are more efficient, but any horror stories with clogging up? Or is this more of a myth?
Cheers,
