The Counterflow Wort Chiller cools the wort as it’s transferred into the fermenter.
The final temperature of the wort entering the fermenter depends on several factors: the flow rate of the wort, the cooling water flow rate, and the temperature of the cooling water. If your groundwater temperature is higher than usual, such as during warm weather, we recommend slowing down the wort flow and increasing the cooling water flow for better cooling efficiency.
While the Glycol Chiller can lower the wort to pitching temperature in the fermenter, it’s not advised to use it with wort hotter than 30°C/86°F.
