Finally caved and got an immersion chiller.

[teutonic terror]

For most of my all grain career, I've been using the "no chill" method of cooling my wort.
I would brew on Saturday cool overnight in my cool room then transfer Sunday morning.
I've always been satisfied with the results, and when I was working third shift, it suited my schedule.

Well, I'm on daylight now my work schedule is dictating my brew schedule.
Working so late into the day on Saturday most weekends, the earliest I can brew is Sunday, then cool and transfer REAL early (3:00 am) Monday
before work.

This is the model I purchased, mainly because looking into build my own, a 50ft roll of copper tubing
would have cost me $58.00 before tax.
SWMBO likes the idea of a wort chiller now because she gets her washer filled with warm water for a load of
clothes also.
I like it for the fact I don't have to be up early on Sunday, and I'll have the wort cooled and yeast pitched by Sunday night.

Nice TT. I'm a do-it-yourselfer also, but you almost can't build one for that price.

Enjoy the toy! It's my favorite after a bottling wand.
