A few weeks ago I built my bottle drying rack. It holds 112 bottles (if I remember correctly) of any size well. It's just a 5 plastic shelving unit from walmart that I drilled 2" holes in. Today I built my counterflow chiller. I think they came out very satisfactory. Can't wait to use to CFC (our water is damn near freezing here so I think it'll work well).

Through the hose? Yeah straightened it. Tried crisco'in the eff out of the copper and that worked for the first 10', but had a really tough time for the last half so made it straight.

Hot water and dish soap is very effective to get the copper through the hose... I'm sure its better than crisco...

Yes....but you should run the water for a good while to check for leaks. That oughta dilute the agents and minimize the damage.
