Tips for cleaning a plate chiller

[Natdavis777]

I have a 20 plate Duda chiller with no issues. Always cleansed post transfer with PBW and have had no issues. Before it was attached to my stand, it sat in a bucket of sanitizer. I have baked it once (before it was mounted to my stand). That cleared out a lot of hop debris.

FWIW, I keep my chiller mounted to the stand, clear it with PBW at the end of the brew. Before I chill, I recirculate boiling wort for 5 min to sanitize. In 10+ brews with this setup, I have had zero failures.

If for cleaning purposes only, a good bake with a high pressure rinse should suffice.

I'll shake it (like a Polaroid picture), both before and after adding the rubbing alcohol. If I hear something sloshing around both times then I'll know it didn't work.

Also, I'll throw it on my scale before and after. I know there's a limit to the scale's resolution, so I'm not sure that'll tell me anything.

apologies for reviving such an old thread but did you ever try the experiment with the rubbing alcohol? how did it work?
