Upgrade to stainless steel for durability, easy cleaning and no reactivity with your wort. These immersion chillers are made from 3/8 inch OD 304 stainless steel and comes with 8 feet of plastic in/out tubing (to be cut to length by customer), a garden hose adapter for quickly hooking up to a hose or a faucet with an adapter, three hose clamps and instructions. Some very minor assembly required. If you would like us to assemble this for you, please note in the comments at checkout that you would like it to come assembled.
Why use an immersion chiller?
- mitigate the chance for contamination by dropping to pitch temperature quicker
- reduce the chances of converting any additional SMM (S-Methyl Methionine, a chemical present in malt) into DMS (Dimethyl Sulfide; which has a flavor and aroma of creamed corn) while slowly cooling
- chilling quickly is noted to have a positive effect on finished beverage clarity
- much faster than an ice bath or the no chill method
- moving boiling wort around is dangerous
Clean the chiller after each use, rinse immediately before use and sanitize the chiller by placing it into the boiling wort 10 minutes before the end of the boil.
