My regular chiller was just right for a 4-5 gallon brew pot, but I have always wanted a chiller that would fit is a smaller pot. I used this small chiller to brew a one gallon batch of ale in a 2 gallon brew pot. It works great. It has a great design that allows you to use it to stir the pot with it. It cooled to 80º in 10 minutes!

Cold Crank®: Small Immersion Chiller

No frills but quite well made. I live in an area with cold tap water year round so it chills my wort very quickly. The supply and return hoses are long enough to work 3-4’ from the faucet and the cycle style foam grip makes it wash to handle w/o grabbing the bare copper lines that would be hot and cold. Excellent purchase.

The night before brew day they called for 25 degrees, so I filled a 50 gallon barrel with water the day before brew day. I also attached a 256gallon/hour fountain pump the chiller. On brew day ,using the literally ice cold water form the barrel, I got 3 gallons of wort below 100F in less than 10 minutes.

The added bonus is it worked great for aerating the wort. Much faster and easier than dumping between buckets or using the wine degasser whip. just simply plunging the chiller up and down in the wort for a minute or two.

For someone like me, this was a nice addition to my brewing collection. I'm very much a novice Brewer, and don't find the time I'd like to dedicate towards brewing, but this chiller did a fine job cooling the first couple batches of wort. I can't compare it to other chillers, but it definitely helped my brewing process along. No issues with it, and works well, and price seems fair. 5 stars.
