Lets start out by jumping straight to the obvious... 50ft of copper, a great addition to any homebrewer's equiptment. Works absolutely wonderful on 5 gallon batches, chilling wort from 210 to 100 in five minutes and to 68-70 in just less than 15. Pay the extra 20-30 bucks and you'll thank yourself on the first batch you chill. Takes a little longer on 10 gallon batches but will do the job in about 20-25 minutes. A certain time saver here, can't brew without it.

This is a simple copper heat exchanger so it works. The first issue people might have is that it only comes with 2 hose clamps. You need at least 3 so prepare to spend an extra $ 0.35 on that. Some of the negative comments said the thing leaked. My suggestion is to tighten those hose clamps down. Test it before you brew.Next idea is to not waste a ton of water. I rigged mine (with the additional purchase of a small fountain pump, some fixtures, some more clamps, and some tubing) to a pump. I put the pump in a bucket with a gallon or so of water and then add cube ice. Cube ice works better than block ice. I did the science. I also added a ball valve to the bucket to bleed water off if necessary. Hey HomeBrewStuff! My idea. I get royalties.

Decent immersion wort chiller, but needs a simple modification. The provided clamps didn't even come close to sealing the vinyl water supply tube to the copper tubing of the chiller. I wound up squirting some water into my wort. This happened even after I'd experimented with it, and put some barb fittings on it to try to get a better seal.I wound up ditching the vinyl hoses altogether, and replaced them with compression fittings with a female garden hose adapter. I used Watts part A158-A, listed as "dishwasher hose elbow." They cost about $3.50 each at my local hardware store. This way, I bring garden hoses straight to both the intake and output side. No leaks. I drop my wort chiller in with about 10 minutes left in the boil to sterilize it. Garden hoses are easy to twist on, so I wait and connect them after flame-out. This way I don't have to worry about keeping the hoses away from the flame while the chiller is in the pot sterilizing.Admittedly, this may not be an ideal for people who take the kettle inside to the kitchen to chill the wort. But if you do it outside in your garage or (like me) under your carport, and if you've got a couple of garden hoses (who doesn't?), it's not a big deal.

While using this chiller in your wert you discharge line is so hot that it can burn your hand. It pulls the heat considerably faster than by immersion in a tub of ice water alone. I highly recommend to all home Brewers.

This wort chiller purchased directly from homebrewstuff.com is a fine piece of equipment, however I noticed immediately upon unpacking that it looked to be the same diameter as a friends 1/4" diameter wort chiller purchased from elsewhere. I took many measurements and found that the actual diameter of the pipe is 5/16" at BEST. I contacted the seller to bring this to their attention and give them an opportunity to rectify the situation, however their responses were argumentative and dismissive of my claim. Not the product advertised, and NOT the customer service you would expect. My advice, steer away from homebrewstuff.com.

Started eyeing a wort chiller, and purchased this item last week. I was pleasantly surprised to get it very quickly and was able to use it on a couple batches this weekend. It worked as it was supposed to, and made the chilling process easier without having to do the ice bath like I have been. However, there were some frustrating things that were encountered. First the product description does not tell you how long of a hose you get. I was looking at the picture and thought it looked pretty long. However, did not consider this might have been both hoses. You get two hoses and they were about 3.5 to 4 feet long. Ok. But not long enough to make it from my stove to the sink. Next the brass connection at the end is the size of a garden hose connection. It was too large for my sink faucet. Third, after getting it hooked up and testing it out, one side worked fine, but the other would squirt out water no matter what I tried. If you read reviews on other wort chillers, this is a common complaint. Some people complained, and others have said there's worked fine. So would not say it was defective, but a challenge when working with copper tubing? So... I think this seller's product is probably about as good as any others. It is copper tubing, with vinyl tubing and a clamp. Not much is going to be different. I would recommend this product. I would just make the following suggestions. After purchasing it see if the sink you plan to use is the same size as a garden hose. If not, go to your local hardware store and get a converter that you can screw on to our faucet so it will fit that size. Hint: Unscrew your aerator from your faucet and take that with you to the store, that will make it easy to find out what size of converter you need. Also while you are there get two extra clamps for vinyl tubing. You may not need them? The round kind with a screw fitting. So you situate the round clamp over the hose and screw it down. But they are cheap and it will save you from having to go out when it comes time to use it. The product comes with one for each hose, but for me, and others it took two to keep it from squirting. Also, keep in mind you don't need to crank up the water. Just turn it on a little so you get a slow flow. Also to consider, if you want to be able to run it from the stove to your sink, you may want to buy your own hose, or purchase one of the wort chillers that does not come with the hose. Then you can buy the hose to the size you need and get your own clamps. Finally, test the whole system before actually using it in your beer.

Drop it in last 5 minutes of the boil turn the water hose on low and your wort is at pitching temp in a few minutes. No way I’ll brew without one again
