I have just swapped over from using an immersion chiller to a plate chiller, mainly because I don't have a pool to draw my chilling water from and return it too, so I was either dumping an hours worth of chill water on the lawn, which quite frankly didn't really need it, or just letting it run down the drain, which seemed a huge waste when so many peopl are on water restrictions..
Anyway, when I used the IC, all the cold break was left in the kettle, now with the chill plate, the break ends up in the fermenter as you can see by this piccie from tonight's brew...

My question is; Does this have any adverse effect? I know plenty of peopl use chill plates, but is there something special I need to know? Just curious of the science behind it if anyone can help.... (Yes I did have a search for 10 minutes or so before posting this topic)
Cheers in advance
