I have a new kettle and my immersion chiller is too small. I am considering a plate chiller but I am not terribly confident. I brew in my kitchen and would be feeding it via gravity not a pump. I am somewhat leary about cleaning & sanitation and flow of a plate chiller so I thought I might try a cheap 10 plate chiller!
Has anyone used one of these http://www.kegcowboy.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=250
My logic is:
1. less plates mean perhaps easier to clean, and
2. perhaps less likely to clog, and of course if it sucks
3. I only spent $35.
Also I could use my existing immersion chiller to cool down the water in an ice bath.
My biggest concern is that I won't be able to get it to work without a pump. Any thoughts?
