A wort chiller is something that quickly drops temperature of your
heated fermentable liquid to 70F for pitching. The most common
technology I am aware of is 30-50' of 3/8" copper tubbing coiled in
12-16" diameter. The ends bend stright up through the middle and rise
about 6" above the whole. To each off these ends is attached
hose/tubing with one having a threaded fitting that fits your faucet
(usually garden hose sized).
You drop the contraption into the boil for last 5 to 10 minutes, then
hook it up when flame is off. One end to kitchen faucet, free end
into sink, out window, etc. Turning on th water makes a great heat
transfer unit for the wort, not unlike your car radiator. In 20-35
minutes, depending on effieciency your stuff is ready for the
yeast.....way better than "cover and wait overnight".
I hope this is a clear description of what I spoke of in earlier
post...if not I'll cheerfully try again :o)
