I chose this over copper because in my research it said copper will eventually rust so I wanted something long term. Granted the stainless steel version may not cool as quickly but I was able to drop the temp of my DigiBoil G2 from 178F (Fahrenheit) to 80F in approximately 30 minutes. I used a generic garden hose which connected perfectly to the wort chiller and well water which is approximately 55F. The best part of all is you don't have to sanitize it because the boiling wort does the job for you!

The chiller works wonderfully. COols down wort real quick. My only problem with it was the coupling that attaches to the water hose leaks like crazy! I had to go buy another one. Not a huge deal but something you buy brand new should work perfectly with no leaks. Cheers!

Wasn't enough to cool down 10gal... my water temp was 70*F and it took forever to cool the wort... I even placed the hose in ice water but it is hard to transfer heat through a vinyl hose... The hose had a couple of kinks in it that was annoying. I couldn't get the hose clamp to stop dripping water so I gave up and let it drip as it wasn't dripping into the wort. On my next batch I will upgrade the hose and use compression fittings. Then I will get a copper one and place one of them in a bucket of Ice Water... I am not being negative about this just some issues I will work through...

Did as hoped cooled wort with in 30 min to 72 degrees 5.5 gallons. Always check the clamps and tighten as needed after the chiller in in the kettle and tubing is hot

Cools to pitch temperature in 15 minutes. Works great

Works exactly as advertised! Had wort down to 68 in 20 minutes

I used the wort chiller with an ice bath and submersible pump. It was very efficient in bringing my wort temperature into the 70 F range in a short period of time. Very pleased with the product.

Works well had to adjust the coils so there would be more coil in the wort. Chilled wort from boil to 100 degrees in about 20 minutes. Very satisfied.

Simply well built and easy to use. Exactly what I was looking for!

I'm not sure why it took me so long to buy a chiller it sure beats the hell out of ice baths. On my first use I was able to take a 5 gal batch from boil to 70F in just under 20 min.

Worked exactly as described. The clamp on the line in to the chiller was not tight enough upon delivery so I had to tighten it to keep it from leaking in to my wort but it was nothing I didn't expect as I expected the heat of the burner and wort to expand the chiller and its lines. This product did exactly what I wanted it to. Could not be happier with this chiller.

Good but not great for the price.

I had to adjust the hose clamps so it didn't leak but it did it's job and dropped the temp quicker and easier than an ice bath.

Fits my 13.8 diameter 8 gallon kettle perfectly. Cools wort as advertised. Took ten minutes to cool 5 gallons of hot wort down to 60 degrees. Anything that makes or improves brew day gets five stars in my book!

A real time saver 30 mins from boil temp to fermenter and dishwasher friendly too.

Went from 212 to 71 degrees in 25 min can't do much better then that.

I don't know how I brewed without this. I literally watched the thermometer going down as water was running through it. Of course I have well water that's fairly cold but it works great. Didn't want to hassle with copper this thing is perfect.

I got this as a gift for xmas I love it takes about 10-15mins to cool down my wort

Since receiving this wort chiller I am impressed with performance. I have used it twice and both time brought a 5 gallon boiling wort down to 80 degrees in about 15 minutes using a little over 15 gallons 5 of which I used to setup for cleaners and another 5 for sanitation.

Used this for the first time cooled the wort down in about 45ish minutes. No leaks but did check to make sure the clamps were tight (as the directions stated).

I've used copper immersion chillers before and they work great but they discolor and tarnish easily not to mention bend. Technically copper is a better heat conductor but the stainless version is a little cheaper easier to clean and definitely sturdier compared to the copper ones I've used. In comparison to copper it cools just fine and beats any ice bath. Only thing I'd change is a more secure tubing attachment which is the same on the econo copper chiller. It is guaranteed to require fiddling. Heard some places are adding hose barbs to similar econo type chillers. So save the money for yeast or grain....or maybe hose barbs. You won't regret it
