I'm a tinkerer as well as a home brew wanna be. I just tested my immerstion chiller made from a 50 ft. coil of 1/2 od coffer reffer tubing. It was in a
10 gal alumimum pot (ebay special). Without putting the lead in ice it cooled 6 gal of boiling water to 95 deg. in 12 minutes. In retrospect a stainless steel pot would conduct heat better and the coils weren't pretty. It'll work but would ya'll keep it or pitch it and go for a B3 immersion chiller and a real stainless steel pot.I'm not doing all grain yet, just steeping and extract receipes. I made the B3 stout, my wife doesn't normally like dark beers but she drank most of that batch. Thx for the opinions.
