With the price of 3/8 copper coil being near $60, i decided to try and come up with another chiller design rather than a counter flow type.
My plan is to run 60' of straight copper pipe inside a 4" diameter pice of black pipe, and then run my wort though the copper copper while running cold water through the pvc at the same time. Since i already have the black pvc and the 4" caps all i would need to buy is the copper and some fittings. My well water tmp is around a constant 50 degrees through out the year.
Has anyone built anything like this, pictures would be great.
Would it work well, considering my water temp.
