Immersion chiller blocked

Gas mark 11? That's about 274°C!

I was using 11 in the Spinal Tap sense. I actually have an electric oven, although the dial on that does stop at 250C so not far off..

did you find out what the blockage was?

It's still in there, just in a lesser form. When I can find a way to attach my bike pump to it I might have more news.

My first thought was get some sink unblocking fluid, but rather than put it down the sink fill a bucket/trub with some diluted and submerge the chiller in it. Just make sure its one thats safe with plastic, which it should be as most pipes are plastic. Maybe leave it to soak for a while and then rinse through. Cost will be under a fiver.
