I currently have a 50' 3/8" IC (DIY) that I am considering cannibalizing and turning it into a 30' CFC...I already have a 50' high temp rubber hose that is not being used so the cost is very minimal to convert it ( just the copper tee's and reducers as I already have extra 1/2" pipe). I am hoping to save on both water and cooling time by converting it as it currently takes 45-75 minutes to cool a we gallon batch and well over 60 gallons of water (I am capturing 60 in a rain barrel for cleanup and the rest for a down the drain). I have a pump so am not at all concerned about cleaning/sanitizing the chiller.
Does anyone have any comments on things to watch out for doing this, I searched the forums but didn't find much about people converting? It seems I should be able to drastically reduce my cooling time and water usage, right now water temps are right around 50 and stay fairly consistent throughout the year.
Thanks,
Eliyah
