The cooler is 5.2 metres long and made of electropolished stainless steel (SS304). It has four 34 mm Tri-Clamp connections, two for wort and two for cooling water, so you can fit hose barbs or other fittings as needed. The inner tube has a large diameter (14.3 mm) to restrict the flow as little as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cooler is designed to be used in a loop. The wort is pumped from the kettle, through the cooler and back into the kettle via the dip tube. This creates a whirlpool that collects hops and proteins (trub) in the centre of the tank, so less trub is transferred to the fermenter. When the return temperature reaches your pitching temperature, change the flow direction after the cooler so the wort goes to the fermenter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCirculate boiling wort through the cooler before cooling starts, so the inner tube is sanitised.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSwitch off the heating elements before cooling starts.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eRun the pump at full power at first, and slow it down towards the end so the trub can settle.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eConnect the cooling water so it flows in the opposite direction to the wort.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cooler is not designed for single-pass cooling straight to the fermenter. The large inner tube gives little resistance for the whirlpool, but makes a single pass slower and uses more water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerformance in Brewtools' own test\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrewtools tested the cooler with 50 litres of boiling wort to be cooled to 20 °C.
