Can I cool down the wort with only city water?
There are some of the brewers planed to cool down the wort with only city water, it is available, but we do not suggest to do so.
For wort cooling with only city water, a single stage heat exchanger will be needed. In our standard, we suggest to use cold water at about 3~5 Celsius for the single stage cooling. But to honest,they city water in mostly of countries cannot reach such low temperature all the year, saying between 10 and 20 Celsius depending on the season...
So the wort maybe cooled down to 30 Celsius firstly and the rest could be chilled via the cooling jacket before pitching the yeast. It works, but not ideal as the jacket cooling efficiency is not as high as the heat exchanger.
So if it is allowed, we still suggest to use cold water (cooled city water) with single stage heat exchanger; Or Cold water and Glycol water with double stage heat exchanger.
