Has anyone had experience with using a plate chiller packed in ice as a pre chiller for cooling water post boil?
I am now thinking of using my plate chiller for this purpose after reading quite a few American forums on the cleaning process involved when passing wort through one...its a bit of a case of it seemed like a really good idea a few months ago but didnt do enough research.
I had great success with whirlpooling by hand today using two coils.So the idea is now to whirlpool via the Hoprocket and march pump and use the plate as a prechiller for my immersion chiller.To me its less cleaning and easier sanitising .
your thoughts.
Cheers SCum
