At about 4pm yesterday I recieved a little brown box in the mail at the office.  Long story short, I have in my posession a wort chiller.  And it proved itself last night to be worth every penny.

Andy and I brewed up another batch of the Marina IPA (aka the 44th) last night (late last night), and put the wort chiller to use immediately.  If you do not have a wort chiller, get one. Period.  We finished our boil, popped in the chiller, turned on the water, and no more than 5 seconds after water started coming out of the out tube it was PIPING HOT! Instant chillin’action.  Pretty damn sweet.  So we let it do its thing and had just about exactly the right amount of time to get everything else sanitized when it had droppped to a nice 82F.  We then finished the process as usual.  I can’t say enough how much this little copper device helps in streamlining brew-day.  Its totally awesome! (Thanks again Chrissie!!)
