Just got a pump from Norm and it has made a huge difference to my brew day.
Previously cooling was nothing but a PITA, my counterflow chiller was too efficient for the rate of flow meaning that I had great trouble getting a slow enough flow of cool water such that the output wasn't too cold. Plus it was an awfully slow process.
Now with the pump the flow is so much quicker I can more easily get the rate of counterflow to match my needs and the speed of process is much more tolerable. Plus the output speed helps aerate the wort for pitching.
Very pleased!
