Anyone successfully connected fittings to the wort in/out on this chiller yet?
I'm looking at it and 5/8" compression seems too big...

So I never did sell this but shelved it. I ended up silver soldering some 1/2 npt fittings on the wort ports today. Boiled 11 g of water and ran a test. Took me 15min of recirculating back into the kettle to reach 78* coming from the chiller, from there I slowed the ouput of the chiller to where it would read around 72* and drained all of the water in the bk. From start to finish took just a hair under 25 min. Does this seem kind of long to other people? I haven't really timed my old garden hose cfc doing the same thing, but I believe it is pretty close. I usually recirculate it in the summer for about 10min then drain to fv, winter I can do one pass. Does anyone else have any more real world experience on how long this should take with the stainless cfc? I still find this unit a bit underwhelming.
