Who here is using a counter flow chiller? I bought the exhillerator a few months back because cooling is my least favorite part of the brew day but I have been less then impressed. I had to add a bleeder valve in order to get the ring to work first of all. Then I don’t understand how people are chilling so fast I first use it during whirlpool and let the wort get to at least 160 before transferring. At 160 the only way I can get the wort to pitching temperatures is by letting it trickle so slow it takes about 30-40 minutes for 5 gallons. I also had it clog a couple times like yesterday so this is my angry rant and had to ditch it quickly spraying my old IC with starsan so hopefully I don’t have an infection in this brew. If anyone has had these issues or any advice I’d appreciate it at this point it seems like a 200 dollars piece of garbage.
