I am considering picking up this 3/8" x 50' immersion chiller from NY Brew Supply:http://www.nybrewsupply.com/wort-chillers/copper-wort-chiller-38-x-50.html Their current price is very competitive when compared to the cost of copper locally. So far I've read a few positive reviews of the product. My primary concern is finding out if it will fit a standard 15 gal keggle(is it tall enough to clear the top ring)?

Has anyone used one of these in their keggle? Thanks in advance!

The vinyl hose they supply is kinda cheap and I had leaks. Once I switched to the vinyl with the reinforced braid inside from the hardware store it was good. The chillers are very well made. It's about 9-10" in diameter so it should fit in a keggle no problem. Unless you cut a very small hole in the top of the keg.

Awesome, thanks for the input! The diameter will definitely be fine, how about the height? That is actually my real concern (sorry, i definitely wasn't very clear in my post).

Matt, have you gotten this chiller from NY Brew Supply yet? If so, what do you think?
I ordered mine last week and though PayPal has shown payment, I've not heard a peep from them and plan on giving them a call but am curious as to your opinions on this one.

I ordered from NYBS on a Monday and had it Thursday before lunch in N. Central Fl. The stainless chiller I got from them is 3/8th'sX25 feet and well made. haven't used it yet but dont expect any issues a screw driver wont tighten right up if needed. I'm very happy with the product and the ship time. IIRC it was free freight off of Ebay.

Iirc, they do custom shaped coils. If you tell them the dimensions of your BK they'll coil it to fit in your pot. I have a 1/2 X 50 and the whole coil doesn't get submerged unless I have over 10 gallons in it. My kettle is wide and short and most coils are made for tall narrow kettles

I got mine pretty quickly. The one I received has the soldered garden hose fittings instead of the tubing that I ordered. I am just going to work with this one. It fits the keggle great but I haven't used it yet. I don't expect any issues, it's very well made.

I can highly recommend this SS model; it has garden hose attachments.

Looks like the price has gone up about $30 since I bought, and they are out of stock, but its the BOMB. Stainless steel ICs are durable, easy to clean and very effective.

A cheaper smaller model is in stock, but for a keggle I'd recommend the bigger model.

I just ordered the 50 foot 3/8 inch brass model. It shipped 5 minutes after I ordered! I can't wait to try it out.
