new tool for an old fool

I built myself a wort chiller. Wort chillers are used to bring down the temperature of the brew to the 75 degree range so the yeast can be pitched in the fermentor. Getting this temp down fast leaves less time for the wort to pick up any bacteria or other contaminants.

Cold water passes through the tube while it is immersed in the wort.
