Here at JaDeD Brewing, we have seen some discussion lately about which wort chiller type is the best for homebrewers, so we are issuing a challenge to any homebrewer that does not NOT use a Hydra or a King Cobra immersion chiller to chill their wort. Here's the challenge: Purchase a JaDeD Hydra or King Cobra immersion chiller, and if you don't have faster and easier brew days using a JaDeD chiller, we will buy back your JaDeD Hydra or King Cobra at full price, including all shipping charges, for up to six months from your purchase date.*
That's right, you can buy a Hydra or a King Cobra and use it as much as you possibly can for up to six months, with no risk to you! We want you to compare your existing chiller to your new JaDeD chiller, side-by-side to see the difference that it takes for the two chillers to go from flame-out to yeast pitching temperatures, as well as to be cleaned, stored, and ready for your next brew day. No other chiller manufacturer or retailer is willing to make this kind of offer.
With actual chilling times of 3 minutes (Hydra) and 3.5 minutes (King Cobra) for a 5 gallon batch**, the Hydra and the King Cobra are comparable to the speed of a plate chiller. However, both the Hydra and the King Cobra can be cleaned in less than 1 minute, and you don't need to buy an expensive food grade pump to get these chilling times or to properly clean and sanitize them, as you do with a plate chiller. Also, tube-in-shell CFCs are not even close to these chilling times. The fastest possible chilling times for a tube in shell CFC under ideal conditions for a 25' rubber hose type CFC is 5 minutes and for a convoluted type CFC is more than 7 minutes. Similar to a plate chiller, a CFC requires a food grade pump to achieve its fastest chilling time. Another advantage of using an immersion chiller, rather than a plate chiller or CFC, is that it can NEVER clog! Our immersion chillers can be completely cleaned faster than you can even switch the hoses on a CFC or plate chiller to start the cleaning process!
*There is an asterisk. Why is there an asterisk? There is an asterisk because you need to make sure that you are running your new JaDeD chiller in the same configuration as your current chiller. Ideally, you will optimize any chiller that you are using, by using short, 5/8" diameter or larger hoses, turning the chilling water on full blast, and agitating the wort during chilling. Your chilling water flow rate is very important in achieving the fastest possible chilling times. This is why we recommend using a garden hose spigot whenever possible. If you have chilling water flow restrictions with any chiller, your chilling times will be slower in nearly a linear manner. We have tested all of our chillers and we know the science behind their performance. If you are not getting our listed chilling times for ANY of our products, email us. We know that we can get your chilling speed where it should be!
**What the heck JaDeD! A double asterisk? We know that two asterisks seems a little excessive, but this is very important information. The listed chilling times for all of our chillers are for a 5 gallon batch of boiling wort to get to 10 degrees Fahrenheit above your chilling water temperature while using our recommendations for the fastest chilling times. If you need to get your wort temperature close or equal to your chilling water temperature, your chilling time will increase substantially with any chilling method, not just an IC.
