This is our new immersion wort (pronounced “wert”) chiller in action, transferring heat from a batch of “robust porter” (Midwest Brewing’s kit). Stuff took off like a racehorse. Four o’clock in the morning, I was awoken by a loud clatter to discover wort geysering forth . . . the top of the airlock blown out. I quickly fashioned (and sterilized) a blow-off tube with a wider aperture, capped it, and went back to bed. Have yet to check the specific gravity, but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s at target. Despite the trouble, the rewards of homebrewing are worth it.
