Counterflow & Plate

Counterflow & Plate Chillers are used by pro brewers due to their increased cooling efficiency and reduced water usage over Immersion Wort Chillers. They work by moving the hot wort coming from the brew kettle through the outer tube or plate in the opposite direction of the cold water. Counterflow & Plate Chillers require a brewing pump and a kettle with a spigot. We offer a wide selection of Counterflow & Plate Wort Chillers in various sizes and configurations to fit your batch size and application needs.

  • Wort Heat Exchanger - Copper Counterflow Chiller Wort Heat Exchanger - Copper Counterflow Chiller

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

    13 reviews

    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.

    BrewBuilt® Stainless Steel Tri-Clamp Counterflow Chiller | The Beast

    4 reviews

    Don't fear the Beast, feed the Beast! This heavy duty counterflow wort chiller will gobble up heat from your wort as it passes from kettle to fermenter so you can pitch your yeast as soon as possible. Made from passivated 304 stainless steel, The Beast has a 30 ft. wort line with 1.5" T.C. connections and a 29.5 ft. coolant line with 1/2" male BSPT connections. Tri-clamp connections offer the most sanitary way to pass wort through your heat exchanger and pairs perfectly with BrewBuilt's line of T.C. Kettles and X1 Uni Conical Fermenters. The BSP coolant connections work well with Camlock, Duotight, NPT or other BSP fittings found below. Adding a ball valve to the coolant line inlet is a great way to dial in flow for maximum cooling efficiency! When it comes to counterflow chillers, we love the coil design for its ease-of-use. Plate chillers are great for their high efficiency and compact size, but if there's too much hop matter running through them, they can quickly clog up. Transferring wort from your kettle to your fermenter is one of the critical steps in the brewing process where you don't want any hiccups. The Beast's wort line is 1/2" ID so it can withstand high amounts of hop additions without clogging! A cross bar is welded on one side of the coil with pre-drilled mounting holes allowing it to be easily installed under your work bench or mounted directly to your brewing system.

We recommend recirculating your last 15 minutes of boil through the Red Reaper to sanitize it before chilling with cold water. Easy Cleaning and Maintenance: For optimal cleaning, circulate hot PBW for a minimum 5-minute contact time. Alternate flow direction for thorough cleaning, and rinse with water at the same temperature. Important Care Instructions: Avoid Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can degrade the PEX tubing. No Acidic Cleaners: Do not store with StarSan or other acidic products, as they can damage the copper. What is PEX? PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is a flexible, durable plastic tubing used as a reliable alternative to traditional copper or steel plumbing. Choose Your Fittings: The Red Reaper comes with bare, 3/8" barbs that you can simply clamp your tubing onto. However, we recommend using 9.5mm Duotight x 1/2" male thread adapters which will allow you to convert to your preferred fittings for the water and wort lines -- Camlock, Garden Hose, Tri-Clamp, Quick Disconnect (QD), etc. Specifications: 18.3 ft. Length 3/8" barb inlet/outlet 9.5mm Duotight compatible Rubber feet Hinged hanger (for BrewZilla handles) KegLand Part Number: KL38355
