ZChiller Counterflow?

[dmcman73]

I searched the forums regarding the zchiller counterflow and only found a mention of them in a poll.

Has anyone used this brand counterflow? If so, hows the build quality and are you happy with it?

Here is the website; http://zchillers.com/shop/

Thanks.

Never seen or heard of them, but they look nice.

Looks like they need to be a sponsor / vendor on here, Eh ADMINS.........?

Just bought the large one today. If it gets here in time, I'm brewing next Tuesday and will let you know how it goes.

Came in the mail a day after I brewed. But I tested it out with 5 gallons of boiling water and it got it down to 70 with 65 ground water in under 4 min. Looks like it will be a nice addition and way better than my 50' immersion chiller. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1419242561.580482.jpg

Looks pretty nice, better than the stock photo.

Very curious about these. Anybody else have any first-hand experience with these?

I'll be purchasing mine within the next few weeks (working on my SWMBO to spring for me ) and I'll post my results with pics.

Just brewed an oatmeal stout on Sunday and used the Zchiller for the first time. It got the boiling wort into my conical at 69 degrees in under 8 minutes. With 63 degree ground water. Was really impressed. Little pricey but well worth it and looks really cool too.

Trying to hold off until I get my tax return. I don't know if that's going to happen...

Ordered one the other day. These are currently 15% off via their website at www.zchillers.com

There are test results on the site for these as well. These guys are in the refrigeration business and are experts in heat transfer.

I received my last week and I will use it on Saturday (fingers crossed)

Any update on these?
I am looking also.

I asked if they would do custom fittings, never got a response.

Also wondering about a mounting bracket, since I want mount to brew stand.

I love mine. amazing how fast is chills and i like not worrying about stuff getting stuck in plates. i would most definitely buy it again. go with the big one. Currently there is no mounting bracket but i think it's better not to have one so you can roll it at then end of cleaning to know you got all the water out of both pipes.
