Pictured to the left is the new chiller setup. After the wort drops below 100'F, I start the pre-chiller. Water from the tap enters the first immersion chiller surrounded by ice water. Along with the newly constructed 50' chiller, this setup significantly decreased the time it took to bring the wort under 80'F.
