This is my first posting but have been reading with interest all the postings while doing kit brews.
I am now over kit brews and intend to go AG starting with brewing in a bag and see how I go.
I have most of the equipment required and am now up to deciding on cooling the wort after boiling, most of you seem to use copper coil cooling, this is an option but was considering a "ChillOut Wort cooler" from one of the sponsers.
Has anyone any idea of the relative cooling capacity of these units??, is it necessary to circulate the wort with the chill out unit or is it possible to obtain either tap water/ chilled water temperature with one slow pass??
Any information on this subject would be appreciated.
Thanks
