Red Reaper Counter Flow Chiller (PEX / Copper) 9.5mm duotight compatible

Available with or without connections - in various options.

The versions with fittings all have:

2x male hose fittings and push fit - ball valve connectors. This will allow connection of a garden hose for the water cooling part - standard male hoselock style connections in and out. 

The wort in and out are where the versions are different - see photos for what is included with each option:

Camlock Option

This is the version that Kegland shows on its video - the Camlock C fittings would connect to Silicon hose in and out. There is also the special tee piece that suits a temp probe to monitor the wort out temp (thermometer not included). Here is a value thermometer option.

Push fit Option A

This the simplest way to connect - the barb on the input will take the silicon hose from the recirculation arm and then simply connect some standard beer line to the output to put the cooled wort into the fermenter. If you want to recirculate the wort before transferring to your fermenter you will need another stem barb fitting like the one here and some more silicon hose. Do not put very hot wort through standard beer line (we recommend max 50 deg C).

Push fit Option B

This is similar to Option A but replaced the push fit on the wort output with Kegland's special tee piece that suits a temp probe to monitor the wort out temp (thermometer not included). This allows you to monitor the temp of the cooled wort coming out of the chiller and regulate flow to achieve a pitchable temp going to the fermenter. Here is a value thermometer option.

From Kegland:

The Red Reaper Counterflow chiller is the latest homebrew chiller on the market. 
This particular CFC uses PEX tubing that is swaged/soldered to the copper wort pipe. This not only provides a superior method of connection compared to a clamp, but also ensures a lifetime guarantee that the mains water you're using to chill your wort down will never get to the pressures requires for the PEX to break.
Paired with the duotight 9.5mm range, you'll be able to attach your hose / camlock fittings within seconds.

Specification:
5.6m Length
Inlet / Outlet Size 9.5mm duotight compatible barbs
3 x Rubberised Feet
1 x Hinged Hanger (for BrewZilla Handles)

We would always recommend to recirculate your last 15 minutes of the boil in your Red Reaper to sanitise it before applying cold water to the chiller.

Using the incredibly pressure and temperature resistant style of hosing used widely in place of copper in the plumbing industry. Partly due to its flexibility and ease of manufacturing.

The Red Reaper A-PEX CFC is a chilling beast, with an internal copper tubing where you wort will recirculate. and cool down You'll get a large amount of heat transfer from the copper and the cold water passing in the opposite direction.

The typical design of a CFC is usually copper tubing housed within another tube. The outer tubing is fed with a cold water source flowing in one direction, while hot wort is pumped through the inner copper tubing in the opposite direction. The main benefit is efficient single-pass chilling from a rolling boil down to pitching temps. CFCs function similarly to a plate chiller but have a larger overall area for the wort to flow through. The benefit is the reduced risk of clogs from hops. The downside is they take up more space than a plate chiller.

What is PEX?
PEX tubing, short for cross-linked polyethylene, is a flexible plastic pipe used as an alternative to traditional copper or steel pipes for plumbing.

Do not store in sunlight. It will degrade the PEX overtime.
Do not store with StellarSan or any acidic products. It will break down copper.
