I have two copper wort chillers I don't use anymore since purchasing a plate chiller. I want to coil both of the copper coils together to give me 40+ feet of 3/8" copper coil. My plan is to run a 1/2 copper tube in the shape of an L from the bottom of my corny keg (which I have modified for the housing) up close to the top and then spiral the 40ft down around the 1/2 tube and have the water exit through the bottom. Is there anyway I can sweat the 3/8" coil together with a coupling of sorts and also to the 1/2 tube? Using compression fitting in an application with this amount of heat doesn't seem like a good idea, especially if one come loose and I need to tighten it. I was planning on using silver solder fyi.
