Cools wort quicker. Was a little difficult to align and keep in place with zip ties, but overall pleased with product.

This return tube can be added to make cooling more efficient. I have varied my cooling between a counter current chiller and a short immersion loop I made a long time ago. The groundwater temperature sometimes gets too high to use the immersion chiller. But I always missed the cold break dropout separation from chilling in the kettle. The simplelest use for this item is in pumping back to the kettle after immersion chilling. I added the countercurrent chiller in this line AND have the cooling water exiting from the CC chiller flow through the coil in the kettle. This uses water more efficiently. Once the kettle gets down to about 150F I redirect to the fermenter. This item is well made with smooth bends.

I was on the fence about getting rid of my immersion chiller for a plate chiller when i was told about this arm from a friend who uses it as well. This arm has cut my chill time in half at the same time creating a nice whirlpool, if you already have a pump then its so cheap its not even a thought about buying it, or if you don't have a pump like me then you have an excuse to buy a pump, i bought the SS chugger pump. The only thing i can say is it does need a better way to attach to the chiller other then the zip ties but at this price its not a deal breaker. I would highly recommend.

It comes with some zip ties that I used once then replaced with some copper wire. Once I had it attached to my chiller with copper wire this thing helped me cut my wort chilling down 70%.

I was surprised how quickly my wort was able to get down to pitching temp from boiling after incorporating this product into my workflow. Highly recommended.

For the price, this was far easier than trying to fabricate something myself. Along with a March pump this piece cuts down my cooling time exponentially.

Creates a circular flow OK when in the right position. Needs a better way to attach to your chiller though, the zip ties get loosened by heat and everything being round and slippery. It ends up being finicky to use because nothing stays in place.

I couldn't be any happier with this whirlpooling setup. I would say that this method cut down my cooling time by 70% and the trub and such does find itself in a nice pile in the center of my kettle.
