How to Setup and Use the Copper Concentric Counter Flow Wort Chiller

- This very efficient wort chiller is a great way to chill your wort. They are easy to use, great value, and the copper chiller conducts heat from your wort extremely efficiently.
Run hot wort through the chiller for 2 minutes before turning on the coolant/water supply. This will heat sterilise the chiller.
Once you start flowing wort through the chiller then adjust the coolant/water supply to the right speed so you can get the right temperature wort out the other side.

I run straight hose into mine with clamps and it works well for anyone that doesn't want to buy the extra fittings.
Yes this also works well.
If I don't use cam locks, I'm guessing it should just be fine to have push fit onto the copper, and push fit for the pipe into the fitting, right?
Sure. Camlocks are super convenient though
G'day boys! I just bought this product, but forgot to clean it before use. Is my beer safe to drink and is it possible that I get an off taste because of it?
Thanks in advance!
Difficult to say and only 1 way to find out really.
I think the water in and out ports should be facing outwards for ease of access
We did consider this however they can also get damaged more easily when we face them in the outward direction. So for storage and transit we felt that it would be better to face then inward.
Can you clean the copper internals with regular PBW solution running from the kettle? What do you recommend?
Yes you can clean the copper with PBW no problem. This is a good way to do it.
To sanitise the coil it's best to use heat. So recirculate boiling hot wort through the coil for 2-3 min at the end of the boil before turning the coolant water down.
@@KegLand Thanks guys!
Can you use 8mm OD tubing for the wort with this or is that too narrow?
Also i see the camlock on the wort in side. Do you connect that right to the recirculation camlock on the robobrew?
EVABarrier is not especially heat resistant - best to use silicone. The camlock can be hooked up directly.
Are pumps needed for these? Trying to get my head around it, cheers.
You can use gravity
No need for pumps. Mains water pressure is quite high. Our Brewzilla's already have a pump.
@@KegLand How much water min-max would you typically use to chill a 19L brew, please? Just thinking, in the north of Aussie, tap water isn't going to get too cold! I was thinking if a pale could be filled with ice packs and water then circulated from it - do you sell any pumps to do the job?
Hi
How do I prevent oxydation in the copper tubing? And if it happens how do i get rid of it? Thanks
It's not really an option. Normally you would only be concerned with oxidation after fermentation has begun not during the cooling process.
@@KegLand I was referring to the copper tubing itself, not the wort
What is the volume of wort these carry?
I am not sure exactly but probably less than 500ml.
So it's designed to have a boiling hot wurt running straight through a plastic duotite fitting? At the moment I naturally chill overnight, and was looking at this seriously till I saw that near 100c fluid is going to be in contact with plastic, not healthy IMO.
We are using acetal plastic at the moment and starting to change over to POK. Both plastics are still very strong at boiling point. Many engineering plastics like these easily handle boiling water. I should also say that the valve to regulate water flow is on the inlet side too so the tube and hose is not under much pressure either.
