This immersion chiller is designed for 5 gallon batches, and will cool your wort in minutes! It's made from 25 feet of 3/8" stainless steel tubing. Plenty of vinyl tubing is included along with a garden hose adapter, stainless steel clamps and instruction sheet. This product is proudly made in the USA.
Well, after much debate on my part I decided to purchase this stainless stell wort chiller. I read many posts by home-brewers for and against the use of stainless chillers for home brewing. The primary fear was that stainless steel would not be able to chill as quickly as copper tubing. I was finally able to test it out a couple weeks ago and I am happy to say that it worked just as well as the copper chiller that I have used in the past. I was able to cool from boiling to 80 F in 15 minutes using ~60 F tap water. The chiller was shipped quickly with plenty of communication from the manufacturer. The single garden hose inlet attachment worked fine for me, plus you get a 12' length of tubing that you can adjust the inlet and outlet lengths as you want. The hardest part was finding the correct adapters to go from my kitchen sink to the garden hose fitting. My advice on that is skip the big box stores like Home Depot and Lowes and go to a good local hardware store. They have many more fittings to choose from and are generally more knowledgable. I also doubled up the hose clamps since leakage at the hose connection is pretty common for this kind of setup. The one red flag with this product is that the instructions tell you to to clean the entire chiller prior to the first use with a cleaner that will remove the manufacturing oils used to shape the stainless tubing. They suggest a TSP (Tri-Sodium Phosphate)product, which seemed to me to be some kind of concrete cleaner that is not sold in most stores. I saw some available online, but it didn't really sound like what I needed. It also has to be safe for stainless steel. After a lot of looking around and confused looks from the sales staff at several home-improvement stores I finally settled on a citrus-type foaming degreaser.Read more ›

There's not much to these things. Just a coil of metal tubing and some hose attached to it, and a faucet fitting. But they sure do change the experience of brewing. I brewed 4 or 5 batches without one, using all kinds of makeshift methods to try to cool the wort as fast as possible. Ending up pitching the yeast at higher temps than I would have preferred, just because I ran out of time waiting for the wort to cool. With this thing, on my last batch, for example, I went from 186 degrees to about 86 in less than 12 minutes. I had my 7 year old stirring it, which helps. But it was awesome how quickly it cooled. Was able to pitch at 70 degrees less than 20 minutes after I turned off the burner. Whether the beer's any good remains to be seen, but if not, it won't be because of slow cooling or pitching too warm. As for this particular unit, it's great, just as advertised. I chose the SS over the copper because I felt it would be easier to maintain and maybe last longer. If there is any loss in efficiency, it can't be much, and it certainly does the job. I rinse it after each use, and put it in the brew kettle to store on the shelf. Before each use, I just rinse it well with hot water. The heat of the wort kills any remaining stuff anyway when you immerse it. My only caution, the tubing/hose connection can be a little tricky. I got a couple of extra hose clamps and doubled it up, after it leaked the first time I hooked it up (test run, not while brewing). I had to get an adapter to connect it to my kitchen sink, but that's expected, it comes with the connector for the larger utility style faucets. Overall, a great product and a good price.

Every home brewer should have one of these. Chills five gallons in about 15 minutes. No more filling the sink with ice water and having to replace it several times. This unit seems very well made and it is easy to use. Stainless seems to be a good material for cleanliness and transfers heat well. To be honest, it is my son who is the beer maker of the family, but I assisted him both with and with this wort chiller, and there is no going back.

Nice reasonable quality wort chiller that works well. Chilled 4 1/2 gallons to 85 F in 15 minutes. My only complaint is that it only includes a hose adapter for the inlet side, not for the outlet side, which could be a problem if you need to run the waste water farther away. That wasn't really clear from the write up, most wort chillers I've seen have both. I also bought a couple of extra hose clamps to insure everything stayed leak free.

I've brewed a half dozen or so batches, two of which I used a friend's counter flow chiller. It was a nice chiller but I worried about what I couldn't see inside the inner copper pipe. The next few batches I used an ice bath and became convinced I needed a chiller. I just wasn't wanting to spend the big bucks necessary for a copper chiller. Additionally, I didn't want to worry about the eventual tarnish that would show up on the copper, so I decided on stainless.
This chiller is an extremely durable product. The stainless tubing is stiff and high quality. I am not at all concerned about it bending or kinking if I drop it or if it is otherwise mis-handled. A wrong move with a copper chiller and you could have a kinked tube in no time at all.
The trade off with stainless is that you do see a longer cooling time with this versus the copper chillers. I have balanced out some of that additional time by using a stick blender to swirl up the wort as cold water runs through the chiller. This not only aerates my wort a bit, but also helps ensure that there is no barrier of cooled wort hanging around the tubing, and the moving liquid helps transfer heat more effectively.
Overall I am highly satisfied with my purchase and I received exactly what I expected.
