I have the 25' version from that seller and I really like it, I have never used more than 15 gallons to chill my wort. I did notice they have a new HERMS coil/chiller they used 3/8" for that looks promising for when I go for a single...

Wow, looks like it was a lot of work. But it does look cool only having the fittings sticking out of the boxes. I like it when people think outside the box. Wait, would this be thinking inside the box? Happy brewing!

The 1/2" tubing that was tested was the same length as the 1/4" chiller, both 25'. Not constantly stirring enabled us to be sanitizing and doing other things :mug: instead of sitting at the kettle looking at the wort. Not sure how having more information on how chillers perform in varied...

As for the DIY: it looks like it can be done but the coils look smaller than paint cans and it seems like it would be hard to hold the paint cans in place as the the chiller has rather tight coils. If you do one with 50ft it should fit in 5 gallons without a problem. I can compress this one...

So I had a good brewing weekend with this chiller. As I said before, my buddy came over with his homemade chiller (which is 1/2", not 3/8" a I thought it was). Anyway, we did two 1.5 gallon extract batches and chilled them with the different chillers. So, the 1/2" coil had about 1 1/2 coils out...

1. it is 25' of 1/4" which according to every thing I have heard and read should not be as fast as it is... but timex says otherwise. 2. the coils seem pretty robust, but I have no plans of tossing my chiller around 3. It was super easy to clean, just rinsed it off then tossed it in the...

I wasn't sure if I should start a new thread or not, but I pulled the trigger on this chiller because of the number sold and feedback and wanted to give an update. I have used it on single and double batches with great results. Cooling times were less than 15 min. for both and that was with not...

Sorry the image did not show up, I originally tried to post the auction but that would not show up. I then tried to save it to photobucket and have the image show up but that didn't work (obviously). anyway, if you go to ebay and type in "wort chiller" there are less than 100 results. you will...

Hey, I have been brewing for About a year and started looking at chillers(I am getting tired of ice baths). I found this? on ebay and wanted to know if anyone has used one of these before? Thanks
