Immersion Wort Chillers
Immersion wort chillers are the most cost efficient answer to chilling wort. These are simple heat exchangers consisting of a copper coil with a cold water inlet and a hot water outlet. Heat is transferred from the wort and expelled through the outlet hose. The wort temperature change is fast which aids in the development of cold-break.
At the end of the boil the inlet hose is attached to a cold water supply and the cold water is run through the copper coil. Heat is transferred from the wort and expelled through the outlet hose. The wort temperature change is fast which aids in the development of cold-break. This hot water run-out is great for cleaning up.
You can reclaim it's energy too. I've even heard of homebrewers using the discharge to fill the washing machine. Where ever you direct the boiling discharge, be sure that the outlet hose is secured and will not spray. My first experience with a wort chiller ruined most of the grass around my patio.
Our 25 foot dual coil chiller is designed for use in 3 to 8 gallon pots. The design provides two coils of 3/8 copper. The inner coil extracts heat from the center of brew pot while the outer coil cools the area around the inside wall. This eliminates the need for stirring during heat extraction and keeps the brew pot closed. Rigid single coil construction protects these units from crimping. The chiller also comes with a 3 inlet hose with standard brass hose fitting, 3' outlet hose, and instructions. |
