Hey Guys! We are a small Nano and currently we have been using a Plate Chiller(we make 2bbl batches) to bring our wort down to pitchable temp in the fermenter. We had no issues getting the temp down from Late Fall/Mid Winter, but now that we've reached warm temps here in the Northeast I cant get my Wort temp Below 80 degrees with the ground water being so warm. We currently don't have a glycol system(I Know I Know its the first thing we are investing in once financially feesable) so I've been trying to figure out a way to get the wort down to pitchable temps. Ive lowered the plate chiller into an Ice Bucket and that didn't help. I have a cold room, so for now ive been putting the fermenters into the cold room to get down to pitchable temp, oxygenating and pitching from there. But I hate the lag time. Just wondering if anyone would have any ideas that would help. Thanks in advance!!
Cheers!
Cheers!
