I have a More Beer 3/8 25' immersion chiller and needed to upgrade it. It takes a while to chill 5 gallons and now have increased size to 10 gallons. I wanted to increase the surface area for both 5 and 10 gallon boils. What I ended up doing was to get 20' of 3/8 copper tubing and made a coil around a paint can. I soldered the two ends together, hose clamped the new smaller coil to the original, and connected the 2 coils together with hose.

It worked much better than before. After cleaning it I used it on a 12 gallon boil. The wort fell over 100 degrees is 10 minutes.
When it came to transfer this Heff to secondaries I did not have enough space. I am cheap and hate to waist beer so I tried this. I had a empty 40 bottle of Bud, I said this was redneck and I know since I am one. :rockin: This was just big enough to hold the last of the beer and a 1" blow off tube fit perfectly over the neck of the bottle.

Now I have to see if it works.
