Hi! i just get into brewing and looking for a chiller.
Which is better "immersion chiller or "plate heat exchanger"?
any links or suggestions would be appreciated. thanks :)
There is also a CFC chiller. It works on the same principle as a plate chiller but is easier to clean I believe (having never used a plate chiller) and you don't, dependant on the pipe size, have to use a filter with it (other than your usual hop filter.)
The cons are that they are bigger, heavier and unless you are lucky enough to find someone selling one you will have to make your own.
Bobsbeer has been making a different chiller, see here Gatling chiller
There are some other designs but I couldn't seem to find any with a quick search on here.
