Im using a plate chiller tomorrow, and dumping straight onto a yeast cake so i dont want to totally roast my yeast with hot wort! So, approx how much 30c ish water are people using to to cool 40 litres of boiling wort to 20c ish, using a plate chiller?
If someone can point me toward an equation machine where i can enter data and get spat out a figure that would be awesome.
At the moment my plan is 50 litres of 4c chilling water, but my linear brain imagines that will get me to about 40c... So, from experience how much 4c super cold water would i need to take me from boiling wort to 20c? I realise there's a fair bit of room for movement. opinions? Suggestions? Should i expect to do two passes to hit sub 20c?
