How long it actually takes

Post by Dawg LB Steve »

Now I can see how long it actually takes to get to pitching temp on brewday. With the Cyclone counter flow chiller I have just been recirculating it back into the kettle thru the whirlpool and measuring wort temp in kettle 11 g batches have been about 20 minutes. Now I can see where the temp is coming out of the chiller and maybe cut that time of using water in half.

Anytime, have 2 extra bedrooms and just found out today there are over 300 brewery/brewpubs in NE Ohio. Kind of find that hard to believe though, but we could go searching!

I've often thought about buying an inline thermometer, every time I fill up a fermentor in fact. Steve what outside diameter are the in/out connectors? The connection on my counterflow chiller is 1/2 inch outside diameter.

On closer look, I've answered my own question. This 1/2 inch one will work perfectly for me, using a length of 1/2 inside diameter silicon tubing to connect it.
