I've been no chill brewing for a while now and I've had pretty consistent results by factoring in the natural cool down overnight to my hop schedule.
But...big but...I've always felt that I'm missing some of the hop flavour of late additions and getting more bitterness due to no chill than I was factoring in. Not always, but sometimes it just not quite right. My latest beer bitter ale thingy was supposed to be fairly malty sweet and whilst it's an absolute cracker, it's definitely more bitter than I wanted.
So time to bite the bullet and finally sort out some chillin!
10m of 10mm micro bore wrapped around a lemonade bottle with appropriate lengths for attaching to hose pipe.
It's a little bit rough and ready, but should do the trick!
Once I have some time to measure it properly in my tea urn, I will be spacing out the coils a little, as it's a bit tight at the moment
