New Immersion Chiller on the way

i just bought a 50' copper immersion chiller at a place called Saukriverbrewery.com for $31!!! I haven't got it yet, but it is brand new and I am wondering how I got it so cheap. With shipping, it was like $36. I was googling wort chillers because I was going to spend $90 to by a Shirron. (I have a an IC that i made, but my craftsmanship leaves a lot to be desired.)

But when I saw how big it was and how cheap, I pulled the trigger. Everyone may know about this deal, but if anyone is looking, it seems like a steal.

Will report back if I got suckered!!!

Uh-oh. Sorry to tell you this, but...

Any word on whether it is a total scam or if it's simply suspect?

We'll all know really soon - won't we? Good Luck.

Got that right...

What's the saying? If it seems to good to be true....

other threads point out that it is thinner diameter than most expect and thats why its cheaper in price

It's apparently a 1/4"x50' chiller. Not miniscule, but not as good as 3/8" or (my favorite) 1/2". It's a bit skeezy how he advertises it and makes it seem bigger than it is.

That is, it should work fine for 5 gal batches. Not frigging incredible, but fine.

If you get it...my fingers are crossed for ya!

The guy knows he's being misleading. Advertising it as a 50' without the tube diameter is shady.

remember those cartoons when the putz who got conned would surn into a lollipop or a donkey? well, if I get it (not received yet!)i will name my first batch "Jackass Ale". Maybe "Gullib-ale" or "Suckerator" doppelbock...

Oh yah... he's back! Wow, even the same photos on the new site as the old. So, is he coming up with different names to run from his other PO'd customers? Wow.
