10.2 Ice Bath
Although the immersion cooling coil was intended to be used with cold water
running through it there is also another method that is worth mentioning. That is to
run the hot wort through the coil then to immerse the coil into an ice bath.
If you prefer to use this method then connect some silicone tubing to the
recirculation arm and then the other end to the immersion cooling coil. Recirculate
boiling wort through the coil and back into the boiler for at least 5 minutes to make
sure the coil is hot and any potential bacteria in the coil is exposed to boiling wort.
Then place the cooling coil into a bucket of ice water. Use the ball valve on the
recirculation arm to adjust the flow rate. Adjusting the flow rate on the recirculation
arm will affect the temperature on the output of the coil. So use this adjustment to
achieve your desired wort temperature so the wort is at a suitable temperature to
put into your fermenter.
