Wort Cooling.

Post by maglorski » Tue Sep 22, 2015 2:44 pm

Not ready to grab wort chiller yet as but I have a question about cooling.

My thought was to fill a couple 4L jugs with water, freeze them, StarSan the outside, then place it in the wort for cooling. Just wondering if I'm asking for trouble and I should stick with filling the laundry tub with a bunch of ice and water.

Thx.

How many gals of wort are you cooling?
I've cooled 1gal batches in a sink filled with cold water....while stirring the wort.

5gal seems like it would take forever to cool...could you borrow a coil for someone?

Probably be cooling somewhere around 5 gal.

No one in our little brewers group has a immersion chiller.

Where are you located...maybe someone here could loan/sell you one. I just sold my 25' coil for $25 a few weeks ago
