I guess I originally had a default of a min @ 33.8 and it created some issues until I figured out the issue..... looking good know!
NOTES:
Integrate counter flow chiller with plate chiller as pre-chiller with cleaning pump and cooler with ice water.
The recipe called for Sweet Gale which is nearly impossible to source. I was able to find it at two sites but it wasn't worth the cost of shipping for. $10 for herb and $10 for shipping in the end.
