Description
 

Tired of slow, inefficient wort chilling? Meet the Red Reaper Counterflow Chiller, your ultimate brewing ally. This isn't just another chiller; it's engineered for speed, durability, and hassle-free brewing.

Unleash Rapid Cooling with Superior Design:

  • Robust PEX/Copper Construction: Unlike standard clamped connections, the Red Reaper boasts PEX tubing swaged and soldered directly to the copper wort pipe. This innovative design guarantees a leak-proof, high-pressure connection, ensuring your cooling water stays where it belongs.
  • Lightning-Fast Duotight Compatibility: Seamlessly connect your hoses and camlock fittings in seconds with the 9.5mm Duotight compatibility. Brew more, fuss less. Add the Duotight Push-In Thermowell Tee to add a thermometer to your wort out line.
  • High-Efficiency Counterflow Design: Featuring an internal copper tube for wort circulation and an outer chamber for counterflowing cold water, the Red Reaper maximizes heat transfer for rapid chilling. Experience the power of single-pass cooling from boiling to pitching temperatures.
  • Clog-Resistant Flow: Enjoy the benefits of a plate chiller's efficiency with a larger flow area that minimizes hop clogs.

Built for Performance and Longevity:

  • The Red Reaper utilizes the same pressure and temperature-resistant PEX hosing trusted in professional plumbing, offering exceptional flexibility and durability.
  • We recommend recirculating your last 15 minutes of boil through the Red Reaper to sanitize it before chilling with cold water.

Easy Cleaning and Maintenance:

  • For optimal cleaning, circulate hot PBW for a minimum 5-minute contact time. Alternate flow direction for thorough cleaning, and rinse with water at the same temperature.

Important Care Instructions:

  • Avoid Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can degrade the PEX tubing.
  • No Acidic Cleaners: Do not store with StarSan or other acidic products, as they can damage the copper.

What is PEX?

  • PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is a flexible, durable plastic tubing used as a reliable alternative to traditional copper or steel plumbing.

Choose Your Fittings:

  • The Red Reaper comes with bare, 3/8" barbs that you can simply clamp your tubing onto. However, we recommend using 9.5mm Duotight x 1/2" male thread adapters which will allow you to convert to your preferred fittings for the water and wort lines -- Camlock, Garden Hose, Tri-Clamp, Quick Disconnect (QD), etc.

Specifications:

  • 18.3 ft. Length
  • 3/8" barb inlet/outlet
  • 9.5mm Duotight compatible
  • Rubber feet
  • Hinged hanger (for BrewZilla handles)
