I like his design, the wire to cause turbulence is a good concept. Bill; interested in building one? I'm game. Heck yeah! Though I asked Jeff what he wanted for his counterflow he has in the Swapmeet section. Maybe we could use his existing copper. How hard would it be to put already coiled copper ...

unique counterflow chiller design?

I found a site where a guy describes his counterflow chiller design that he made (or stole, whatever). He added .040 diameter copper wire along the length of the copper pipe to add turbulence to the water, which he states increases the heat transfer rate and chills his beer quicker.

How much for the chiller? I have nothing to barter with, unless you need some computer work done, or you have some beer that needs to be drank and you just don't have the time to drink it yourself.

Thanks John!
I really didn't think that storage at a cool temp would hurt any of the Kit ingredients. Better to ask though.

Do I need to keep my Kit extract cool?

I just got my Stout kits tonight and I put the yeast into the fridge. I wasn't sure if it was necessary to keep the extract refrigerated or not.
