Do any of you see any problem with using chrome plated 1/2" Copper tubing for a Whirlpool IC? The wall thickness looks to be about 1/16". Is this thin enough to exchange it's cold properties with my hot wort? Thanks.

I would keep a close eye on the plating to make sure none begins to flake off in your beer after a while.
