I spent some time this afternoon working on my immersion chiller. I used some information that I gathered from this site and broke from it in some areas as well. I used 50' of 1/2" OD copper refrigeration tubing, but instead of just bending it or soldering on copper elbows, I decided to try out the Watts A-215 Tube-to-Tube brass compression fittings shown below:
I still have a little more work to do on it though. Unfortunately, 3 of the 4 elbows are leaking and I need to tighten them up some more, but I ran out of time this afternoon before I had to deal with other things. I hope to get it tightened up and tested this week so I can use it for a brew next Sunday. A leaky immersion chiller ain't gonna cut it
