5 gallons went through at full blast on the March pump, which was faster than I could tell the folks watching what they were seeing :-)The temp was below 60F into the fermenter, and that was as low as the Brewmometer went. I was too busy at The Big Brew to get out my digital thermometer to see how really cold it got. The temps and speed were unreal. I already loved my first Therminator when I recirculated back to the kettle until pitching temps, but now I'm really spoiled! Now to find a way to pay the credit card bill!That is one clever, sexy, $475 chiller. How fast are you able to pump 5 gallons through at your pitching temps?

I got the diamond plate at a local marine scrapyard (same place I've found kettles too). Any local metal supplier will also stock it, and can cut it to size if they don't have a scrap piece that fits your needs.Also, where did you get the diamond plate?
