I don want to spend a lot of money on a wort chiller. How can I cool down my wort?
I’m assuming that you are not brewing whole-grain, since a wort chiller is practically required for that. If you are brewing kit beers or partial grain recipes, put three or four gallons of bottled water in the refrigerator the day before you brew. Cut back to about 1-1/2 gallons of water in your boil, and use the chilled water to bring down the temperature of the wort.
