Stainless wort chiller specifically for 5.5g Anvil kettle

[jgaepi]

Good news is that my new Anvil 5.5g kettle is flawless for 2.5g batches. Light to pick up and move around. Big enough to prevent a foam over. But ... way too small for standard 25' stainless steel wort chillers. I need a narrow chiller. Anyone make a custom SS wort chiller? Thanks.

For what it's worth, JaDeD Brewing is making me a custom chiller. So, if you're in the market for something specific, they appear to be your best bet.

What's the inside diameter of your kettle? Here's a 25' SS chiller with 9" dia. coils.

That's the one I'm thinking of getting...

With all the interest in LODO techniques, I'm surprised someone like SS Brewtech or NorCal isn't offering some SS IC options.

I looked for between 7-8". The temp probe limits it to less than 9".

http://stainlessbrewing.com has a section on their site with a variety of narrow coil configurations. There are some in the 6" range that already have the vertical section, you'd just need to stick a fitting on the end and maybe add a bend. Or they might offer it that way too if you ask.

How are you liking your kettle? I have one on the way. What is the boil size you typically use? I was worried about a 3.5 gallon boil being too risky for this size pot.

Ebay or more beer or several other brew shops sell the stainless cooler ...also the speidel stainless cooler coil works as well..

I have one and have been able to do 3.5gal boils no problem. I've even done a 4gal batch with 5gal pre-boil, but it was a 1.050OG beer.

Cool. FYI I reached out to jaded about pricing on a custom chiller for our kettle. Will share the details with ya.
