Wort Chiller - Copper Counterflow Chiller (with 3/8 in. Barbs)

    Description

    You may have a hard time finding a more affordable counter flow wort chiller. For the homebrewer on a budget, these heat exchangers are one the fastest ways to chill wort. Similar in efficiency to the Chillout plate chiller, but much easier to clean. Plate chillers have the disadvantage of getting gunked up in their small crevasses due to trapped hop material. This unit, on the other hand, can be easily and effectively flushed after use.

    Copper is a great conductor of heat, making it more efficient than a stainless chiller of similar design. These units are 9" in diameter and about 7" high. The input and output are approximately 3/8" outer diameter (9.5 mm). They can be used with gravity, but we recommend using a pump.

    Check out the video below to learn how to set up the chiller with Duotight fittings (DUO115 & DUO116) that will allow you to attach Camlock, QD, or garden hose fittings to the inputs and outputs, and enable you to control the flow rate at the water inlet.

    ​Fittings not included.

        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...

        MoreBeer!

        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.

        MoreBeer!

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

        MoreBeer!

        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?

        MoreBeer!

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

        MoreBeer!

        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.

        MoreBeer!

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

        MoreBeer!

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

        MoreBeer!

        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?

        MoreBeer!

        I bought them at more beer

        MoreBeer!

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

        MoreBeer!

        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

        MoreBeer!

        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.

        MoreBeer!

        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.

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

        MoreBeer!

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