What are the benefits of copper?
My old copper IC gets gnarly looking, and then is shiny and bright when I pull it out, and I don't like all of that crap ending up in my beer. I don't really trust the copper where I can't inspect or manually clean it. And I feel better running hot PBW for cleaning through SS versus copper.
I can chill 10 gallons of wort from boiling to under 90F in under 15 minutes with my SS Exchillerator. Could be faster, sure, but it's not horrible. What's a copper chiller going to gain me, 5 minutes? That's not a huge difference and doesn't seem to warrant making the cooler 10 times longer. An extra few minutes is worth the tradeoff to me to keep everything stainless.
