Hey y'all,
I've got a copper immersion chiller that I am about to toss through the window. Ever since I got this from my LHBS it has leaked on the intake. I thought I had it fixed finally (with some pre-brew testing) and used it last night. But the damn thing still leaked at the intake hose.
Right now, all that's holding the hose on is a couple of worm-style clamps. I tried to put a compression fitting on, but I really don't know what I'm doing and that leaked too. So, now I'm saying to hell with it. I want to sweat a proper fitting on. Only thing is, I don't know anything about plumbing.
Can someone give me some advice or point me to a 'plumbing for morons' type of web-site that will show me just what I need to do?
Currently, the wort chiller is 3/8'" OD with crap for connections.
Thanks,
Brad
