It's about time!

A few months ago, I won a Shiron Plate Chiller in aBrewing Network drawing. I have been procrastination using it, mainly because I didn't have fittings for it. I finally bought the fittings, and put it into use yesterday.

The results were excellent.  Although it took about 30 minutes, the wort hit the fermenter at 72°F, instead of 90 that the counterflow got me.  Now I wonder why I waited so long!
