Hey guys, I am changing my chiller set up, so I am trying to sell my plate chiller that I have been using for less than one year. What I have is a duda diesel B3-36A chiller, this is just over 18" long, 20 plates, garden hose attachments for your water in/out, and 1/2" MPF fittings for the beer in/out. On top of this, I have a stainless steel T fitting on the beer out side, fitted with a weld less thermometer bulkhead, and a three piece stainless steel ball valve.
What all this means is that you can cool your wort VERY fast, you can control the output flow via the ball valve, and you can monitor the temperature of your output while going into your fermenter. The three piece ball valve is very easy to clean, and this unit will chill your wort FAST. How fast? I was able to chill my 10 gallon batches in a single pass, at nearly wide open, down to within a few degrees of my groundwater temps. This thing is really beastly.
I never had any issues with clogging or flow reduction with this unit, it was always cleaned by back flushing hot PBR for at least 20 minutes at the end of brew day, and rinsed well with clean water. All connections are made with PTFE tape and no leaks. This really is a great chiller, that always gave me great results.
Asking $175 plus shipping
