    I know there are a ton of topics on building one but I'm trying to find a good price on 3/8"x50' copper tubing if anyone can point me in the right direction. Priced it at a big box store last night at $59. I'm in MD if that helps.

    Thanks!

    Here we have just the hardware for the wort chiller. If you need the paste , solder , brushes and tube benders and stuff see the "Premium" one.

    Here we have made it easy for the home brewer!

    Again "make your own" meaning it is not put together. That fun is for you to have!

    If you would like to see a video of a wort chiller being made we would recommend searching Immersion Chiller Build

    You will get ....

    (1) 3/8 R 50 FT of copper tubing with a .032 wall thickness ( the copper tubing)

    (4) 1/4 90's ( to make the 90 degree bends)

    (2) 1/4 x 1/2 mip ( to connect the copper tubing to the garden hose fittings. Put adapter and garden hose fitting together before soldering.)

    (1) 1/2 fpt x 3/4 mgh ( garden hose fitting)

    (1) 1/2 fpt x 3/4 fghs ( swivel female garden hose)
