Counter flow heater
Counter flow heater
I was wondering if anyone has tried using a counter flow chillier, as a counter flow heater, by running hot tap water around the outside tube, with the cool water, to be pre-heated before it goes into the boiler/mahstun, around the inside tube. Also for that fact has anyone used water striate from the hot tap to brew with, if so what where the results.

You'd need an awful lot of *very* hot tap water to get a suitable quantity of mash liquor from cold up to strike temp (approx 72degC) using that approach. The tap water would have to be silly hot and hitting the desired output temp for the heated liquor would be a nightmare.
In short, don't go there.
