Which chiller to use?

[Splangy]

Yah, I know this has probably been asked a million times, but never did I think I would take possession of 3 different types of chillers at the same time.
I picked up this lot on craigslist last night for a reasonable sum and when I got home I realized there were 3 wort chillers in one of the boxes, an immersion, a hybrid, and counterflow.

I am thinking of keeping the counterflow and selling the rest...any reason why I shouldn't? Will I need a pump to use the counterflow chiller?

Thanks

I would keep the CFC and the Immersion... You can used the immersion as a Herms / Rims coils in the future...

And no, you don't need a pump for CFC... I use gravity at the moment and there is no problem...

That PVC counterflow is interesting. I saw one similar in my googling that was a diy version. Any details on it and how it works?

How much was all that?

Also, test them all out see what works best before you decide.

The ends are sealed so the best I can figure is that there is a coiled copper tube in the PVC jacket, wort in the copper, cooling water through the PVC.

75 bucks I think made out decently.

$75 I think you got taken - send it all down to Portland and I will reimburse you $75 + gas!

LOL - nice find the keg already done is worth the $75 +++

You got $150+ worth of cornies there, ya, you owned that craigslist guy!

Yah, I was stoked just to pick up the 6 cornies for 75, the rest they just threw in with the deal and was pure gravy.
