Hi all,
I must say that even though I am now a "no-chiller" convert, I have always liked the look of plate chillers. But then I always get nervous when I hear stories about them getting clogged with hop debris and break material, thereby increasing the chance of infection.
I gather quite a few brewers here have bought plate chillers in the recent past and I was just wondering what peoples' thoughts were on the whole issue. By now people should have had quite a bit of personal experience with them and will know if the stories are just old wives' tales or if there is some truth to them.
What are your experiences with plate chillers???
Cheers :beer:
