I'm selling my used Shirron plate chiller. I purchased this 3 years ago and it has worked very well for me ever since. The most important thing with a plate chiller is keeping it clean as there are several plates fused together with very small gaps where lots of things (hops, trub) can collect. I started an acid cleaning regime which worked well and kept it performing well. In the fall and winter months when the ground water temps are in the 50s and 60s I can run the pump at full speed and it will cool the wort down to the 70s at full flow. In the summer it has to be throttled back some to keep the temps near the 70s. It has normal wear and tear, a few small dings, but nothing major. There is also some light corrosion on the exterior surfaces, but nothing on the inside that I can see. All NPT ports and threads are nice and clean, nothing stripped. $55 shipped.
