For a quick and easy solution until you get this sorted you can simply stand your fermenter in a plastic container of cold water and for preference drape a wet towel over it dipped into the water.Also can someone word me up so i can put my fermenter in the fridge in summer to ferment? It sitting at 24c today and im scared, i used safale US-56 and its only meant to brew at 18-20..
Afternoon Fents. I had the same problem when I first constructed mine. I could only put it down to too much resistance in the copper, I had the wort running through a cfc then post chiller to the fermenter. I purchased a syphon bulb from a marine shop, sanitised the end, pushed it into a piece of tube on the end of my plumbing and gave it 5 pumps. Presto ! flowing wort. Hope this helps.Another question for everyone - CHILLING the wort...
I spent $80 on this -

And i hate it, cant get it to work...
I like to pitch yeast on brew day, whats the cheapest and easiest way to cool a wort (apart from cold water in a sink - wastes water)...

So...what i do is hook up the blue hose end to the kettle and tighten the screw clamp's...I connect my hose to the connection nearset the kettle and turn the hose on and water comes out the oppisite hose connection...all good up until this point...I turn the tap open on my kettle but no wort comes through ?????? Whats these pupms u speak off? Maybe im just better off with an immersion chiller? Can you make one for me ?![]()
