Maxx Counterflow Wort Chiller
Description
With 25 feet of co-helical wrapped copper tubing encased in our exclusive red shell, the Maxx counter-flow wort chiller quickly cools up to 10 gallons of boiling wort to pitch temps in 5 minutes or less! We should also mention that it does not clog, comes with a full 5 year warranty, and guarantees a cold break every brew day! This makes it the ideal wort chiller for brewing all styles of beer including (plate chiller clogging) New England IPAs. Using a Maxx counterflow wort chiller is foolproof, you can simply whirlpool hops and trub right through it! This is made possible through our exclusive coiling process and smooth bore copper that results in ZERO kinks or nooks for trub and hop matter to hide.
Cleaning is easy, simply flush the chiller with hot water after use and it’s ready to go for your next brew day. If you prefer a deeper clean, try out our brewery wash, you won’t be disappointed!
Every wort chiller we build is created with efficiency in mind to keep water usage at a minimum and save you money on your utility bill.

Unbelievable. So efficient and very fast. From the kettle to 68 degrees in the fermemter in like 7 minutes.

The Exchilerator has worked very well, cooling my wort on one pass. It is incredibly efficient.
On the second use, I had a problem with the pump that I purchased and contacted the company. I was very pleased with the prompt response. Kenny seemed genuinely curious to get to the bottom of the pump malfunction and immediately sent me a replacement unit and a return box for the malfunctioning pump. Customer service was truly excellent.
I recommend the Exchilerator and other products without reservation.

This review is for the stainless steel version of the Maxx Counterflow Wort Chiller. Unlike the copper version, there is not a “hard” connection between the 1/2″ NPT connection and the stainless tubing for the wort. They provide removable bulkhead compression fittings that need to be removed and cleaned every time, which is extra effort and they take some getting used to (there is a plastic component to them that I cracked on my first try, luckily they provided extras!). Hence the 4 stars, I wish this difference was clearer in the description. Otherwise it’s chilling ability is unbelievable and I’m liking it more and more as I use it.

Nice chiller, a must if your going to whirlpool in your boil kettle. Takes wort temps down quickly, some type of restriction in your hose before it enters the chiller will give you better control as it cools really fast with the hose running wide open. I called Exchillerator and they recommended this addition also. I went with a ball valve and now between the wort ball valve and my water hose ball valve I can slow down or speed up the cooling as desired. I would recommend this chiller.

Very happy with this chiller. I’ve used it twice now and each time I’ve been able to cool my wort from boiling to 65 degrees (using a an ice prechiller due to ground water temp) in less than 5 minutes. Better than anything I’ve used in the past.. awesome chiller.

Amazingly fast! I was seeking to reduce my time and water usage for chilling and this absolutely slayed it!

Delivery was fast. Set up was simple once I decided on a configuration. Prepping (pickling) was straight forward but I won’t actually use it until Dec 7th. Looks great so far.

Finally! A no clog alternative to wort chilling. Handles anything. Great build. Only suggestion is to add a QC option. I added my own. So easy now and no leak at all. Done from boil to pitch in less than 10 min

The Maxx Counterflow Wort Chiller is the best wort chilling option for homebrewers! This gets my 5-6 gallon batches down to pitching temps with the valves all the way open in one pass. This thing has exceeded all of my expectations! I will be selling my immersion chiller.

I have been using an immersion chiller for years, got tired of all the stiring and time it takes to chill hot wort. I have used this chiller twice in the last three days. I use my pool water and recirculate it back to the pool with no waste. I know it’s around 55 degrees but still am amazed that in a single pass the once boiling wort is 72 degrees. Truly amazing, what a time saver. I love it.

This thing is sweet! Cooled my wort as fast as it could pump into my fermenter.

I have used it with three batches now and it has worked better than expected.

The Exchilerator counter flow chiller chilled better than all my other chillers combined and the hangover made recirculating a breeze. Highly recommend Exchilerator as a 20 year home brewer.

Easy to use and set up. It cooled wort on a 6 gallon batch to just above ground water temperature in about 10 minutes. It uses quite a bit of water but you can easily collect it in buckets to reuse for cleaning. I purchase some quick connect fittings for it to match my fittings on my Spike system and worked perfectly.
