The next batch already brewing and almost ready for the still.
I must say that I am pleasantly surprised with the outcome of
the first batch. I envisaged a whole new learning curve and rocket

Very observant you are. Saw this on other websites as well.

Have been meaning to ask this question myself but left it
for now. Does it really matter? Maybe the pro's here, can

I think it works the same as a counter flow chiller ....

Jip Jigsaw has it. The idea is that your coldest cooling water is at the outlet so your product is chilled as low as possible. If you introduce the cold watter where the product is the hottest you only cool to a midpoint where the to fluid Temps are as close as possible to each other
