I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?

I just used my new wort chiller for the first time. I love the fact that 10 minutes later, it was cool enough to put in the fermenter. However, I have always used the method of boiling 3 gals and chilling 2 gals and then mixing in the fermenter after the 3 gals of wort was done. Now with the wort not being boiling and being exposed to air for a few minutes, is there any concern during this short timeframe . . .

In answering another question, you said that the indoor wort chiller is about 10-11" in diamter. Can you be more specific? My brew pot's inside diameter is 10 7/8" so I am not sure your chiller will fit.

I just moved into an apartment complex that does not have any outdoor water spigots that I can use. My setup is too large to be in the kitchen and I have plenty of room right outside of my apartment to brew. I was wondering if I could modify an indoor wort chiller so that there is about 80'-90' of tubing coming off the faucet adapter so that I could drag the thing outside?

I'm looking for a good SS brewpot, preferrably 7.5 gallons. I have a question about the best way to transfer the hot wort through a plate&frame wort chiller into a stainless fermenter. Should I:
A) Pour the hot wort into the fedrmenter, gravity drain from fermenter through the chiller and back into the brewpot, then pour the chilled wort back into the fermenter.
B) Install a spigot on the brewpot . . .

Excellent site, very informative
I am looking to buy a 7.5 gal brewpot and a wort chiller from you, but I'm concerned about the wort chiller connections. My kitchen faucet does not have threads, and I don't have an outdoor faucet available. Can I still use the wort chiller? the faucet is about 3/4 in diamater, is there way to stretch a hose on there? Thanks, I can't wait to get into doing full-size . . .

When I use a wort chiller is it best to stir wort slowly while the water runs through it, or, just leave the lid on and let it do it's thing? Best web site out there (and I've seen a few).

Great site -
I recently ordered a 5 gallon pot and an indor wort chiller. Since I want to make a full 5 gallon batch, will placing the chiller in this pot displace the wort so much as to cause a spill? Yeah . . . should have asked before placing the order . . .
Thanks~

Hi, I'm planning to buy the 7.5 gallon brewpot and a wort chiller from you. I just wanted to confirm the indoor chiller can be used both on the sink and with outdoor hose type connections, as I'd like to use it both ways.

RE: Indoor Chiller, plastic line attachment.
How is the 3/8 plastic tubing attached to the copper Inlet & Outlet of your chiller ?
I have read of some that use a compression fitting that if permanently Braised or Soldered to the copper. Is it 'standard' Hose Clamps? Or.....?
Also I noticed that you offer customer pick which would eliminate the shipping charge. Do you have a store or ware . . .

I am preparing to buy my first brew kit and step into the wonderful world of brewing. With that being said, is there a specific size kettle i need to fit into the wort chiller? I assume you put the chiller around the kettle and run cold water through it. If you could run me through the process of using the chiller that would be great. thanks, rob lurie

I am going to purchase a counterflow wort chiller, and have a question. After the wort is transfered from the brewpot, (I have a 12 gallon brewpotw/ball valve) do you flow the wort directly back into the pot, or do you put it into one of the buckets to pitch it? I am a first time brewer and am not very clear on this portion of the process.

Great, informative site by the way. I have been brewing for about 1 year with success, a wort chiller would be very benificial at this time, however I am confused. Why do you want to put the wort chiller in the boil 15 minutes prior? As you state, It would go in to sterilize, wouldn't you need it sterile before you put in anyway.
Thanks.

Hi -
It looks like there is tubing connecting the hose faucet to the chiller. Can you tell me how long that line is and the diameter of it, as well as how long the outlet hose is? Thanks for a great and informative site.

I'm planning on buying a kit for this winter but I cant decide which wort cooler to get.I will be brewing in my basement so I dont mind the mess and it looks like it would cool faster with a hose.Are there any drawbacks from using an outdoor one indoors?

Does the indoor wort chiller fit in the 15 gallon brew pot that you sell on this site ($110.00). It is listed for 5 gallons so I assume it is narrower than the 15 gallon pot. Also, does the ball valve option come with that pot? Can i get a price for the whole ball of wax?

Why is the inlet so much higher than the outlet. It would seem to make the coil sit sideways in the pot. I've seen others with the in and out at the same heigth and on the same side.

What is the proper way to use a basic wort chiller? Place it in the boiling wort and run cold water though it OR place it in a sink of ice water and run the wort though it into the primary fermenter? I've seen it done both ways.

I use a wort chiller to cool my wort, but was wondering if you have ever heard of anyone using co2 through the chiller instead of water. Would it cool too fast or do you think it would do ok? Love your site, it's the best one I have found for home brew information.

I read in the reviews that the cost of the wort chiller is 24.95 plus about 7 bucks shipping. I can't find this price on the site and the shipping was about 10. Any help on this would be great.

I've brewed on a 10 barrel system and using a heat exchanger seems to be the quickest way to cool your wort and pitch your yeast during the transfer (approx. 5 min after starting transfer). This way you get a better mix with your yeast and wort as well. I was thinking of converting a draft box (jockey box) into a wort chiller/heat exchanger. Would it be better to use ice in the box or water to cool . . .

I'm considering buying a nice big brewpot. I boil my wort outside, and would like to start using a wort chiller to improve my beer. My problem is that I have no good "dumping area" for the wort chiller water outflow. My question; Have you ever heard of anyone draining their wort through a regular copper wort chiller which sits in a bucket of ice? That would allow me to cool the wort . . .

I am ready for the next piece of equipment, a wort chiller. However, my kitchen faucet is anything but standard, i.e. no threads at all. What do you recommend?

Would it be possible to receive longer flexible tubing on the chiller so that I can leave the boiling kettle on the stove for chilling? That would save me the trouble of hauling the kettle to the sink, but would require about 10 feet of the flexible tubing on both ends.
Thanks,
Mark

I ordered the deluxe brewing kit from you last month.
Now that my first batch is in the bottles, I'm looking back on how I can improve my setup and my process for the next one...which will likely be the IPA you sell.
The one thing I know I need to fix is my Wort Chiller situation. I have an 8 gallon stainless steel brewpot, and with 5 gallons or so in it, the design of the wort chiller is such . . .

Has any one ever tried a closed loop wort chiller using alcohol (i would use a hi-proof vodka to prevent blindness in case of a leak) in the tubing and pumping it through a large bucket of ice water?
any practicallity here? Besides saving water?

i made my own wort chiler. it cost more than buying it, until i added shipping. My question is, will it turn green between uses, and if so, how should i clean it?

I have never used a wort chiller, I always add my apprx. 2 gallons of wort to 3 gallons of cold water in my carboy and take a temperature reading making sure that we are between 100 and 90 degrees before adding yeast. I don't think I have ever had a problem doing it this way. Why should I buy a wort chiller?

What is the advantage of buying a wort chiller? What about buying 3/8th copper pipe from a hardware store and just coiling it up, then putting some tubing on the ends?

Recently I read about cleaning/sanitizing the inside coils of the wort chiller. This seems no sense to me, as it never contacts the wort, only the outside of the chiller. Or am I reading these articles wrong?

Will the indoor wort chiller fit in a 11 inch diameter pot?
2/13/2004

From the picture, it looks like the wort chiller has 90 degree bends at the top of the copper tubing. So, it looks like it will sit on top of the brewpot, rather than going all the way to the bootom. I have a large brew pot, and I am concerned that when I boil up a relatively small amount, your wort-chiller won't be fully immersed in liquid.

I boil in Sankey keg (15.5 gallons). Will the wort chiller extend into the keg sufficiently to reach and cool a five gallon batch?
Your ad in Brew You Own puts the price of the outdoor chiller at 24.95. Will you honor that price?
You Q&A is a good feature. I'll be browsing here in the future.

I AM A NOVICE BREWER. I MADE ABOUT 5 BATCHES LAST YEAR AND I AM READY TO START AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME I WANT TO DO IT FASTER AND EASIER.
SO MY QUESTION IS "DO YOU RUN THE WORT THREW THE COPPER TUBING WHICH IS IN ICE OR DO YOU SUBMERG THE TUBING IN THE WORT AND RUN WATER THREW IT?

What diameter of tubing is used in these wort chillers, and what is the length of tubing used. How low should the wort be in a 7.5 gallon pot to allow for the water displacement.

Is it worthwhile to spend the extra money for a wort chiller, given that I am a total amateur to beer brewing?
I get the sense that it cuts down on the amount of time needed to brew a batch, and reduces the chances that it will spoil. Is this accurate or am I on the wrong track?
