  Infrared thermometer.I have this one:Amazon.com: Mastercool MSC52224A Infrared Thermometer in
  Case with FREE MSC52220 Analog Thermometer: AutomotiveThat's the coolest thing I've ever seen!

  Yes, I selected "refrigeration" for "tubing type".Someone described the difference between
  refrigeration and "type k" and "type l" in another thread, and the bottom line was homebrewers

  Wow, I really didn't mean to make you spend more time doing all those calculations for such a
  small change in results. I'm glad I'm only cooling 5 gal. at a time...good luck to ya

  Well, I'm no mechanical engineer, so take this for what it's worth:Heat capacity is not the
  same as thermal conductivity. Copper and water's thermal capacities may be similar, however the
  thermal cond...

  Well I've found a definite answer to #4.That is, of course, in addition to what Yuri_Rage had
  posted (which is perfectly accurate, I just wanted to find out exactly what the differences
  were)The volum...

  Others with a stronger physics background can correct me if I'm wrong but if you want to chill
  50 gallons of wort with this you're quite undersized.50 gal (190 L) from 100C to 20C requires
  the transfe...

  I know a lot of you will say that I'm taking this whole thing too far, but we all bring to
  brewing the skills, knowledge, and curiosity that we apply to the rest of our lives. Plus I
  really like to po...

  I religeously put mine in the dishwasher, heated dry.It gets out any bits of gunk I missed, and
  has never failed to sanitize. No smell either.Is there any concern about rinse agents, like
  Jet-Dry? I'm...

• Posted in thread: 20 feet too short for a chiller? on 03-08-2008 at 07:26 PM
  OMG that place rocks. $129 for 50' of 3/8 at lowes vs $35 here?? Does seem too good to be true,
  but also too good to not at least chance it. The IC might be coming my way sooner than I
