Hello everyone. I am trying to build a wort chiller based off of this turtorial on youtube.
<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/G8EolKTDZUQ?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/G8EolKTDZUQ?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
I purchased a 35' home made 1/2 " copper wort chiller off of craigslist but it came with no fittings. It seems like the person didnt do too good of a job bending the copper. I plan to stretch out the copper because its not as uniform as id like it to be, then re-coil it around a corny keg. I want to use brass elbows and barbed garden hose fittings to complete the job just like in the video.
Im really confused about the parts list.....
It states that i should use 3/8 elbows....
Are these elbows going to go on the inside of the tubing? That seems a bit odd.
Second The garden hose barb fitting should go over the 1/2" pipe. It lists a 5/8 barb. Is this http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-5-8-in-x-3-4-in-Lead-Free-Brass-Barb-x-MGH-Adapter-LFA-491/203468397#specifications the correct one? Im confused because it also says 3/4 in the home depot description.
Thanks for the help.
