Boiling the Immersion Chiller

[JacobInIndy]

As an early Christmas gift, I received an IC. After using it for the first time, I read that one should pre-boil the IC to remove some sort of coating on the copper...I didn't do that. So, I am wondering what off flavors might be produced by this.

Nah....it'll be fine....that is unless the IC was green....If it was brand new copper it should be fine...

Thanks revvy...I might be tasting my first case of oxidation then...hmmm.

I think the worry may be about some of the machining oil, but really you'll be just fine, I doubt it affects anything (I didn't pre-boil mine when I built it)
