Lost interest then:lol:

Where's the dog gone?

Up to you. It'll take about twice as long to cool as the 25m length i.e. 20-30 minutes I reckon

I can't imagine that the difference in temperature between the outside wort and inside wort will be very different. Also can't imagine what difference it would make in the 10-15 minutes or so it would take to cool it down.

I would definitely go for the full 25 metres. If each coil is 40 cm in diameter you will have about 20 coils total in the wort. Maximum cooling area and fastest cooling is best for the cold break. I've got 18 coils on mine and only use a 16 litre kettle.

The other half introduced herself to someone at Loughborough Beer Festival yesterday afternoon and asked if he made home-brew, as I did. Turns out it was John Wood, the original founder of Oakham Ales way back in 1992 (she has a habit of dropping herself in it. She went into the Post Office...

Punk Syphilis!!!

Gotta be Fullers stolen from a bottle Bengal Lancer. It's the only one amongst my liquid yeast collection, that I keep ready to go at all times. These rest need a starter made before pitching.

I'd email North Cotswold Brewery and tell 'em the pub are selling their beer in dreadful condition. They may refuse selling their beer to the pub again. It's making them look bad and a small brewery is more likely to care than a big one. No point in emailing Hobgoblin. They wouldn't give a monkeys.
