Ok bet you havn't done this one..........Oh ya, hi everyone.
So today was my first batch of the season, been really busy with a daughter grad![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Everything is going prefect, hitting #'s nice weather and good music.
I throught the cooler into the wort and hook it up to the pump from my pool, I use pool water to cool and wort water to heat the pool![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I can't get the water to flow throought the pump, I check and it is sucking the water but not draining back into the pool...............you starting to get what I'm saying.
The coil cooler has burst!! in 2 places over the winter
now there is15L/3gal of pool water in the wort.
I took the excess out added a bunch of DME to get it back to a reasonable gravity. not going to add the fruit to it but I will brew it.
So the question is ............. are there going to be any issues with the pool water, the pool is at the perfect chemical balance with not alot of stuff in it ....we have great water is Squamish BC.
Taging GF in this cause he uses pool water as well....as some others do I assume. @GFHomebrew
Oh and one other thing, I did the same thing 2 years ago but with tap water!!!!!!!
Yours truly
