Heat Exchanger Question

[rhythmsteve]

Is anyone in the forum using this particular heat exchanger .... https://www.woodfurnaceworld.com/col...p5x12-50-1-1-4 ? There is a person in one of my other forums selling a brand new one for $200, and i was wondering what the Probrewer opinion would be. I don't think it would handle a 7 bbl system, but i just want to see what everyone thinks....thanks in advance.

Don't touch it with a bargepole. It is not food quality, it has copper and bronze which will corrode and absolutely no information that I could see about its performance capability.

That would be much to small for a 7 BBL system. It might be good for a homebrewer or a 1/2 BBL pilot system.

Anything this can do, a Blichmann Therminator can also do. Except, you know, specifically for brewing beer. Also, cheaper.
