Hey everyone.
So I <heart> this CFC https://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_make_a_Counter_Flow_Chiller. The problem that I am running into is that I have an immersion chiller made with 50' of 5/8"OD Copper. I was going to uncoil this copper and shove it in a rubber hose and be done with it but I cannot find rubber hose larger than 5/8" that isn't $200 for 50'.
With 5/8" OD copper I figure I would need rubber hose larger than 1 1/8" OD. Does anyone have any other suggestions or am I best to just buy a Duda plate chiller and keep my immersion chiller for those VERY hot days?
Thanks
Walt
