My B-Day was a few weeks ago and i got some northern brewer gift cards totaling $150. last night i decided to make a mass purchase of various things from beer ingeredients to T-Shirts. Among them i decided to grab a wort chiller as im tired of the ice and sink meathod.
I knew all along that i would have a problem with connecting the vinyl hose to my sink faucet since its kinda "fancy" and does not allow the removal of the faucet end to thread on a hose or anything since its a detachable sprayer and faucet in one.
Im not worried about not being able to use the sink faucet im sure ill figure something out but i wanted to get the beer community in on this to see what other people have "rigged up" aside from buying an expensive pump or running the garden hose into the house.
Worst case scenario ill just hold the end of the tube to the sink faucet and see what happens. Another idea was having a cold water bucker above the kettle and start a siphon to get te water going. We'll see how that works out.
So, if anyone has some thoughts or other inexpensive ideas, please chime in.
BREW ON!
