I'm considering a closed loop water cooling system to reuse the water used for chilling (I'm reusing at the moment for other things) Distillation uses quite a bit more water than beer to keep temperatures in check. I'm thinking to get two 500l Jojo tanks and run one to the other with a pump and back when done. Has anyone attempted to throw something together yet? If so, any pointers would be great!
Edit, change of tack. I'm going to use my inline (before Cf chiller) copper coil in a ice bath with a submersible pump. Will catch the first bit of post boiling hot water for cleaning gear and recirculate after that. Ice is cheap and can be refrozen for a next brew. Bottle the used water in some spare 5l drought water containers I have spare. I'll see how this goes for distilling later. Not a completely closed loop, but will do for now, plus I have all the bits to get going.
