Hi all,
My little brewery was reached the point where I need an effective cooling solution. I have been sitting the wort in cold water in the sink but I've moved from the kitchen to a little room off the garage and carting hot wort through the house isn't an option.
I was thinking of buying an immersion chiller from ESB, sticking it in an ice bath, attaching a pond pump and circulating between the chiller and the kettle. Has anyone tried this or are there an issues that people can see? I was wondering about the suitability of the pond pump (high temps and whether it's sanitary).
