KegLand RED REAPER COUNTERFLOW WORT CHILLER Keg Land Efficient Copper Heat Exchanger KL38355

$149.00

Chill your wort in a tenth of the time!  This copper counter flow chiller is probably one of the fastest ways to chill wort.  The Red Reaper is a professional quality Keg Land Counterflow Wort Chiller, an innovative and water-efficient device designed to use with just about any of our most popular brew kettles or electric brew systems.   This unique counterflow wort chiller imported from Australia is designed to cool your wort in one pass, taking much less time compared to a standard immersion wort chiller.  Buying a quality wort chiller will speed up the brewing process immensely (twice as fast as immersion chillers) and greatly reduce the risk of contamination.  Copper length is 18′ surrounded by red PEX tubing.  Has three rubberized feet so it will stand well on a shelf and a hanger to sling it from your boiler.  You will need to add your own 3/8″ (9.5mm Duotight) tubing and hose barb.

The tube-within-a-tube design allows for hot wort to flow through the chiller in one direction, while cooling water flows the opposite direction in a cooling jacket surrounding the wort. This efficient design ensures the hot wort is always in contact with a fresh supply of cool water – so no stirring or agitation is required!   This Counter flow Wort Chiller enables you to pump wort through the inner tube, while running cold water in the opposite direction in the outer tube, making the entire process quicker and more efficient than ever before.

Description

  • Unique Process:  Hot wort flows from your boiler through the copper tube in one direction while cooling water flows the opposite direction in the red jacket
  • Leak-Proof Construction: Features PEX tubing swaged and soldered directly to the copper wort pipe, replacing standard clamped connections.

  • Rapid Cooling: The counterflow design allows for single-pass cooling from boiling to pitching temperatures.

  • Clog-Resistant: Offers a larger flow area than plate chillers, which helps prevent clogs from hop material.

  • Duotight Compatible: Designed to work with 9.5mm Duotight fittings for quick, tool-free hose connections.

 

Enables a more efficient cold break to remove unwanted proteins and particles from your beer.  Cleaner aroma profile because of decreased DMS production, giving you the more pronounced aroma that you worked so hard for.

Easier to clean especially when compared to the plate chillers.  It will not trap hop particles like a plate chiller will.  When chilling one thing you want to have is cold break.  Cold break is the coagulation of proteins and other stuff floating in your wort.  This coagulation contributes to clean appearance, reduction in chill haze, and a clean flavor in lagers.

Use 3/8 inch tubing barbs and hose clamps to connect the chiller to your wort in and out feeds (not included).  The water connections are the same.  The chiller measures around 10 x 10 x 10

Additional Parts Needed be scrounged and not included:  Depends on your installation.  Kitchen faucet to hose adaptor, Female Hose barb, 3/8″ poly tubing from sink to chiller and then to drain, 3/8″ High Temp Tubing from kettle to chiller and then to fermenter, 3/8″ hose clamps.
