Thank you so much for this video . What is the difference in thermal conduction between copper and something like grade 5 titanium
@wavecutter696 ай бұрын
Do both stainless and copper stabilize eventually at the same temperature?

You can get rid off the hops by simply boiling it separately in small pot, collecting the hop flavored water and discarding the gunk. Do this a day or two prior to boiling the wort. Put the hop flavored water in cooler. This will further settle any other debris. What you are left with is just beautiful hop flavored water. I freeze a gallon of it and throw it in my cooled wort to cool even further.

Looking at getting this to replace a old plate chiller. How much wort is lost in the coils during cooling?

Thank you for considering Exchilerator If left full it will hold about six ounces. If drained to the bend at the bottom there will be about one ounce

@@Exchilerator that’s excellent information. That means I won’t loose much during transfer and my processes can remain the same.

Do you guys have any videos showing demonstrations of the exchilerator used during recirculation/whirlpool. I'm curious about how fast it cools down though that sort of use and how much water it takes.
@Exchilerator4 жыл бұрын
Thank you for considering Exchilerator. Sorry we do not have a video of this. But the amount of water you will use is ultimately related to the temperature of the cooling liquid. A greater delta will cool faster and consume less cooling liquid

Yes. It makes very tiny marks similar to a nylon brush.

So does this mod make a Chugger as quiet as a RipTide pump ?
@Exchilerator4 жыл бұрын
Only temporarily or until you replace the Teflon again. This is a fix for an inherent problem that the Chugger has.

Hi, is the Exchilerator capable of handling boiling water in the outer tube (the pep)? And a second question, what size threads is there on the thermometer?

hey, nice job, what is your ground water temp there, when this test was done, and what was the test volume, and how long did it take to chill it.?
@Exchilerator6 жыл бұрын
Thanks. Water was about 48 - 50 *. When that was shot I really wasn't keeping track of volumes just wanted to see if it would work. The Maxx now performs at 2.5 GPM 50 * ground water 5 gal. batch 200* to 70- 75* less than 5 Minutes.

why use a 1/4 instead of a 3/8 or 1/2 copper tube? it is more efficient? chill faster?

@pauldailey406310 жыл бұрын
I've thought about doing this with my counterflow chiller. Is there any concern with running hot water from the HLT through brass fittings on the water side of the chiller only to use that same water for the sparge? I was going to try this once I found stainless steel fittings for the water side of the chiller. Thanks for posting.

Paul There are companies that make lead free brass garden hose fittings if that is your concern. If you are using a garden hose CFC I wouldn't worry about the brass it would be the taste/chemical pick up from the garden hose. That is why the Exchilerator is made of PEX, copper, stainless and lead free fittings. If you have a copper CFC it should work fine.

The bottom angle is for comfort assuming it will be mounted on a flat service. Thank you for your kind words.
@robmckee799210 жыл бұрын
Received my 25' one today. Really impressed with the packaging and the product. Now comes with two metal bands that wrap around the coil to make sure everything stays put. The end near the "bottom" is angled up so if you want to mount this say under your brew table you can do that. I've never seen PEX used before but the inner tubing is copper so no worry. Thermal mass of wort will be slightly higher than water used in the demonstration and your local water temperature will also effect how much delta T this product is able to produce but anywhere near 1gal/min flow rate is awesome for home brewing.
