Wort Chiller

After I saw Thirsty's set up in action, I knew this was the way to go.  I have never boiled my plate chiller.  Right after I use it I back flush and put it in a small bucket with PBW.  After 24 hours I back flush again, and all of that caked on stuff comes out.
      I just think that the pro's out weight the con's.  The ease of the plate chiller, and how fast it chills is mind boggling, in the grand scheme of brewing nothing can replace chilling your wort that quickly, there is nothing out there that will drop your wort from 213 degrees to 60 degrees for the price, (around 90 bucks) and the size ( about the size and thickness of a push broom head). as the Shirron plate chiller, truly a piece of homebrewing genius.
