Wort Heat Exchanger - Copper Counterflow Chiller

    Description

    This copper counter flow chiller is probably one of the fastest ways to chill wort. This unit is similar in efficiency to the Chillout plate chiller, with the added benefit that it is easier to clean. Whereas a plate chiller has small crevasses to trap hop material, the counterflow chiller can be more effectively flushed out after use.
     
    These units are 9" in diameter and about 7" high. The input and output are approximately 3/8" outside diameter (9.5 mm). These can be used with gravity, although a pump is recommended.
     
    Fittings not included.

        Effective counterflow chiller that cools wort to pitching temp quickly & is easier to clean than plate chillers. Customers appreciate the value for price. Some noted durability concerns with hose jacket & design challenges with port positioning making mounting difficult. Works best as single-pass chiller; may need filter to prevent clogs.

        Gets the job done but needs improvement

        Get the job done. Cools the same as my plate chiller but much easier to clean. My only issue is with the in and out ports. Since they do not extend past the coil there is no real good way to mount or position the chiller. Either the water lines or wort lines somehow get pinched. You really need to be creative. Logistically this is a design flaw.

        Does the job water temp at faucet 55 degrees ready to pitch after using O2.

        Was Fine for a Few Brews

        This is a case where you get what you pay for. The chiller worked excellent for a few batches the during a transfer on day the outer hose jacket burst. Jacket hose is not braided and is thin. Ordered a stainless steel counterflow chiller the same day soon after this broke. To be fair this may have been a one-off and others may never have issues with this item.

        Seems to be working well for the price

        Works well

        Chills wort to 70's F in one pass. It took me a bit to figure out which connection options to use but after I got this up with some duotights and camlocks it's working great.

        First time using counter flow

        This chiller works fantastic. My tap water is pretty warm here in Florida and it chilled a 5 gallon batch very quickly. They should have an add on package for quick disconnects and garden hose adapters other than that this has to be the best deal for a counter flow chiller!

        Pros and cons

        It is what you pay for. I wouldn’t use if you plan on recirculating your wort while cooling. It runs very slow and prone to clogs if run at full speed and you don’t have a filter/strainer. If you plan ahead and run it as a single pass chiller slowing down the wort flow out to get the desired temp it’s not bad for the price but plan ahead on how to use it with your process.

        Way better than I thought it would be.

        Used this for the first time this weekend gravity fed with a hose attached for counterflow. I was expecting it to be like 90F coming out then just wait a bit before pitching. NOPE. Straight from the boil after cutting off it was coming out the other end at 59F. CRAZY. Very satisfied. The connecting pieces I just ended up using worm clamps and tubing I already had probably worth it for the push fittings but meh. The most interesting part is figuring out how to have the boil pot above the chiller and that above the fermentor. It all worked out but definitely something to think about. Best purchase for my setup as of late.

        works as described

        works well not as easy as it seems to chill the wort to peaching temp but I guess it depends on the temprature of the tap water.

        Economical counter flow chiller. Works great with duo tight connectors.

        Great chiller.

        The chiller is great. Even in the 98 degree Alabama heat I was at pitching temperature in less than 20 minutes. MoreBeer is without a doubt the best mail order business I’ve EVER dealt with. Shipping is wicked fast. They are super responsive to emails. Thank you for your commitment to customer service

        Chilling wort just got simple

        I used a 9.5 mm duotight ball valve for the cold water input (with a standard hose fitting) and high temp vinyl tubing with hose clamps for the hot wort input. The rest is 3/8" tubing. This chiller cools my wort from 200+ down to 68 degrees (my ground water temp is ~55) in the time it takes to flow from input to output. Wort contamination at temps under 180 are now a non-issue. Super easy to clean and compact enough for easy storage. I still use an immersion chiller on the rare occasion when I want to steep or whirlpool hops at or below 150 but this is my "go to" chiller from kettle to carboy - and I love it.

        Perfect temp from the boil to the carboy

        Used for latest brew. With only a few turns of the water regulator I installed on the one end the wort temp was a perfect 68 degrees according to the inline thermometer and ready for fermentation.

        Is there a "kit" or parts list available to actually connect this to a robobrew/brewzilla? The listed parts get me halfway there but I ended up with duotights running 8mmx4mm Eva barrier tubing running the wort side. Seems really slow. Can someone provide the necessary parts to use camlocks or QDs with proper tubing/barbs/clamps to get the wort side running? I've spent a lot of money with trial and error and I think I've missed something.

        Does anyone know if I can use a standard sharkbite on the “apx. 9.5mm” barb instead of the duofit? I want a metal connector and I want to avoid bsp threads and go straight to npt without and adapter if possible...

        MoreWine

        You probably can. A 3/8" compression fitting would work too if you want metal. FWIW though the Duotight part that they recommend (with 1/2" BSP) works with 1/2" NPT. Those sizes are compatible.

        MoreWine

        Yes you can use sharkbite 3/8 and go from there to werever size or tread size you want.

        MoreWine

        I'm not real familiar with this 'sharkbite' connector but the ends of the wort chiller here are just copper tubing. Any connector that can seal on bare copper tubing without welding should work fine.

        Would this be sufficient for batches of 10-15 gallons?

        MoreWine

        I believe so although i use it for 5 gallon batches my neighbor has one and uses it for his 10+ gallon batches.

        MoreWine

        It will do the job But it will require a lot of water. It has a small diameter coil which will not allow as much Wort to flow as other chillers. But it is a good entry level chiller that would do the job.

        MoreWine

        It works well for me. I make 15 gallon batches.

        MoreWine

        Yes this gets my 11 gallon batches down to pitching temps in 5 minutes or less with 60° ground water.

        MoreWine

        I think this would be a bit undersized for a 10-15 gallon batch. It’s good for 5 gallons and I’m sure it would do the job for 10 gallons but it might take a while.

        Are the duotight fittings for this chiller available through More beer or do they need to be purchased through Kegland?

        MoreWine

        I bought them at more beer

        MoreWine

        I do not know you would have to search both websites.

        MoreWine

        I brought copper fittings at Home Depot for the hose ends and just slip the 3/8 tubing from my boil kettle on the others. Cost about $6 for the fittings. Works great

        MoreWine

        Not sure about the duotights but I was able to use something that I believe was called a dishwasher fitting from Home Depot. It was a brass 3/8" compression fitting on one end with a 90 and a female garden hose fitting on the other. They work great and I can hook directly to my garden hose.

        MoreWine

        I purchased Sharkbite fittings for this to convert to NPT from Home Depot. By the time you factor in shipping they are relatively the same total cost as Kegland.

        MoreWine

        Hi Peter - Yes we now offer Duotight fittings. The fittings shown in the video above are DUO115 & DUO116. Cheers!

        MoreWine

        Hello Peter - You should be able to source Duotight fittings through most hardware supply outlets.
