Has anyone tried changing the ends of the Grainfather chiller over to quick disconnects? I purchased a used Grainfather Chiller as I wanted to test it out with my new Spike Solo 20g system but trying to find the correct Quick Disconnect ends is proving to be a challenge.

So far, I purchased this:
https://www.morebeer.com/products/stainless-steel-quick-disconnect-female-qd-12-barb.htmlWhich is a 1/2” barb and seems much to large for the standard tubing on the Grainfather which I believe is 5/16” ID tubing. I’m still looking for the male end of the quick disconnect to a barbed fitting that will work as welll...maybe this? Quick Disconnects Type E - MQD x 1/2'' Hose Barb
