Fast wort chilling. Clean process. Real brewery connections.
The BrewTaurus Counterflow Wort Chiller is built for brewers who want faster knock-out, cleaner transfers and a more serious hot-side workflow than a basic immersion chiller can offer. At its core is a 12 mm convoluted copper wort path inside a 19 mm stainless steel outer shell — hot wort and cooling water flow in opposite directions for efficient heat exchange in a compact footprint.
Why buy it
- Faster chilling than typical immersion-style solutions
- Sanitary 1.5" tri-clamp connections as standard
- Compact, brewery-style counterflow design
- Easy to integrate with pumps, hard piping, hoses and CIP workflows
- Excellent heat transfer from the copper inner tube
- Stainless exterior for a cleaner, more durable setup
Chilling time by batch size
Modeled single-pass performance with cooling water at 5–10 °C, a clean system and a good pump (~7–9 L/min wort flow). Actual times depend on cooling-water temperature and flow, wort flow rate and target outlet temperature.
| Batch size | Approx. chill time (one chiller) |
| 25 L | ~3 min |
| 50 L | ~6 min |
| 100 L | ~11–12 min |
| 600 L | ~70 min |
Want faster knock-out on big batches? Run two chillers to cut total time significantly. Pushing higher wort flow (10–15 L/min) usually raises the outlet temperature — slow the flow or add a second chiller to stay closer to pitching temperature.
Specifications
| Inner wort tube | 12 mm convoluted copper |
| Outer shell | 19 mm SS304 stainless steel |
| Connections | 4× 1.5" tri-clamp |

Cleaning
The tri-clamp format makes the chiller easy to integrate into a clean workflow: flush with hot water immediately after use, run an alkaline cleaning cycle, rinse thoroughly and sanitise before the next brew.
