I read somewhere that an immersion coil, essentially the wine making terminology for a wort chiller, can be a great way to increase must temperature during those chilly winter months. I was thinking about this and it brought a couple of questions to mind.
1) Stainless Steel or Copper
A) Which has better heat transfer
B) Would the copper leave any off flavors in the wine
Soft copper would be cheaper to buy then Stainless; however, I am worried that it would leave a copper taste. I ferment in stainless, so I am pretty sure that would not have any ill effects on the must.
Let me know what you guys, and girls, think.
