- Durable PEX tubing resists high temperatures and pressures, extending the chiller's lifespan
Tired of slow, inefficient wort chilling? Meet the Red Reaper Counterflow Chiller, your ultimate brewing ally. This isn't just another chiller; it's engineered for speed, durability, and hassle-free brewing.
Unleash Rapid Cooling with Superior Design:
- Robust PEX/Copper Construction: Unlike standard clamped connections, the Red Reaper boasts PEX tubing swaged and soldered directly to the copper wort pipe. This innovative design guarantees a leak-proof, high-pressure connection, ensuring your cooling water stays where it belongs.
- Lightning-Fast Duotight Compatibility: Seamlessly connect your hoses and camlock fittings in seconds with the 9.5mm Duotight compatibility. Brew more, fuss less.
- High-Efficiency Counterflow Design: Featuring an internal copper tube for wort circulation and an outer chamber for counterflowing cold water, the Red Reaper maximizes heat transfer for rapid chilling. Experience the power of single-pass cooling from boiling to pitching temperatures.
- Clog-Resistant Flow: Enjoy the benefits of a plate chiller's efficiency with a larger flow area that minimizes hop clogs.
Built for Performance and Longevity:
- The Red Reaper utilizes the same pressure and temperature-resistant PEX hosing trusted in professional plumbing, offering exceptional flexibility and durability.
- We recommend recirculating your last 15 minutes of boil through the Red Reaper to sanitize it before chilling with cold water.
Easy Cleaning and Maintenance:
- For optimal cleaning, circulate hot PBW for a minimum 5-minute contact time. Alternate flow direction for thorough cleaning, and rinse with water at the same temperature.
Important Care Instructions:
- Avoid Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can degrade the PEX tubing.
- No Acidic Cleaners: Do not store with StarSan or other acidic products, as they can damage the copper.
What is PEX?
- PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is a flexible, durable plastic tubing used as a reliable alternative to traditional copper or steel plumbing.
Choose Your Fittings:
- The Red Reaper comes with bare, 3/8" barbs that you can simply clamp your tubing onto. However, we recommend using male thread adapters which will allow you to convert to your preferred fittings for the water and wort lines -- Camlock, Garden Hose, Tri-Clamp, Quick Disconnect (QD), etc.

- 18.3 ft. Length
- 3/8" barb inlet/outlet
