Hi,
I am finishing up construction of a 50 Foot Couterflow
chiller. Now I have a few questions about putting it
into use:
1. Would PBW and Star San be the preferred methods for
cleaning and sanitizing the counter flow chiller after
use and before use? Any point in allowing boiling wort
to sit in there for 10 minutes prioir to commencing
chilling?
2. Would it be necessary to use a pump to pull the hot
wort through the chiller in a timely manner? It seems
like it would take awhile for the wort to wind its way
through the 50 feet of tubing.
3. If using a pump, I assume that the flow would have
to be throttled back in order for the wort to come out
at the correct temp.
Any other tips or recommendations are always
apprecieted.
Cheers
WH
