I just bought the 30plate 125kw version. It arrived and the thread wasn't cut correctly. After about 10 emails trying to explain the problem they gave in in the end and I sent it back to them. I'm not sure if they were retarded or if it was a translation issue. Hopefully I'll get a better one back without any issues.

Lots of people on here use those heat exchangers and say they're really good. There are lots of threads on it.

got me new bad boy wort cooler today from malt miller lol its bigger than i thought lol 60 plate, 130kw wort chiller/heater. 2 ports 1/2" bsp, 2 ports 3/4" Run wort through one size port and water through the other. Can be used for cooling at the end of the boil or heating in conjuction with a HERMS system.

Nice buy t bet you can't wait to use it in anger :mrgreen:

or heating in conjuction with a HERMS system.

if your talking about pumping the runnings through it tazuk I'd seriously give that some thought. Standard plate chillers (using the term loosely) should have a pre filter which prevents anything bigger than 0.5mm getting into it, for my GPHE it's 0.25mm. With hops there's some 'give' as they're loose/floppy/thin so they can be used without a pre filter (carefully) but with grain it's another matter as it's solid and I wouldn't risk it.

this wot i use for hop filter in my boiler ??????? wot do you think ????
it a bit of a beast of a plate chiller did not think it was that big lol its like 5.5 inch high / 7.5 inch wide / 2.5inch thick 2.8kgs
thinking of use some Female Tap Connector 15mm 1/2" BSP on chiller

I'm sure it'll be fine t, I just err on the side of caution as I had to throw a sealed PHE away due to hop ingress blocking it over time
