I'm having a lot of trouble setting up my homebuilt immersion chiller.
My local hardware store didn't have a long enough piece of 3/8" OD copper tubing, so I went with a 1/4" OD ice maker kit. I've got the copper formed into a coil without too much crimping, and I've got some 1/4" ID / 3/8" OD plastic tubing which fits over the copper nicely, and now I'm trying to connect the plastic tubing to my kitchen faucet.
Unfortunately, I've struck out at every hardware store I've gone to. No one has been able to help me figure out what adapters/fittings I need.
So, do any of you fine homebrewers know what fittings I need to connect a standard kitchen faucet to 3/8" OD plastic tubing so that I can use my fancy immersion cooler?
