The Red Reaper Counterflow chiller is the latest homebrew chiller on the market.

Red Reaper Counterflow Chiller (PEX / Copper) 9.5mm duotight compatible.

This particular CFC uses PEX tubing that is swaged/soldered to the copper wort pipe. Not only does this provide 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.

This particular kit does not come with 9.5mm push in fittings.

Specifications:

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

Recommended Cleaners:

PBW Powder (Optimum 80°C) minimum contact time 5 minutes. Remember to change the flow back and forth to really get the deepest clean possible. Rinse with the same temperature water.

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 inplace 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.
