Paul, this is so didactic and instructive!!! Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Hi, I love your Parallel Counterflow Chiller. Originally I was going to build one with all pipes copper. The beauty of your's using PVC is cost. What I need to know is where did you puchase the 20mm end pieces with a brass thread? Thanks for your video!!! Cheers

[@sjporr]

You had to know I was coming here next. I'll be watching the series so I can build one as well. Cheers

[@BHbrewing]

Well put together video and explanation. Heading to video #2 right now. Cheers!

Temperature rating of PVC under pressure is about 40 degC and without pressure you can increase the temperature to about 60 degC.

Not sure where you are man, but in the US, cheap irrigation pipe from Home Depot will do the job. The white stuff is Schedule 40, could also use Schedule 80, which is a thicker wall, there is also a special PVC used expressly for water heater drain pipes, designed for high temp, that would be good here too. That stuff is easily found at Lowe's.

+1 thanks for this Paul, Great video

[@Time4Another1]

Cheers Peter

It would have been cool if you used quick release at the ends instead of protruding copper. Then you can quickly disconnect the silicon tubes and drain the chiller so you don't loose any chilled wort. Plus, the parts would then be easier to sterilize.

Amazing! Great job

Hey Paul, of your counterflow the earlier one about a year ago and the parallel counterflow how do they compare on a cost basis?

[@Time4Another1]

Parallel is more expensive, due to more connections. At an estimate I would say double.

[@GreedyDragonBrewing]

Brilliant. Thanks for this! How would this compare to a chill plate design. CheerZ

[@Time4Another1]

I used a chill wizard by Sabco way back, and it was a pain, it was slow at getting primed and had a slow flow rate. I don't like them due to the fact that they can block so easily on a brew day. However there are bigger plate chiller available, that may work better than the one I used.

[@GreedyDragonBrewing]

I like your build, the parts would be readily available here. Could the pyramid distance be reduced to add distance to the chiller? or would there be no additional benefit.

Thanks for sharing. CHEERS!
