A Look At: ZChiller – Spiral Star Design Counterflow Wort Chiller

zchiller wort chiller

ZChillers are made in the US, double tube counter flow wort chillers.  The interior tubing is a Spiral Star Design.  This spiraling increases the surface area of copper that’s in contact with your wort.  It also increases turbulence.  More movement across more surface area means your wort chills quickly.
