Thanks guys. This is exactly the advice I was looking for that Google wasn't giving me. Never had or made an ESB. So looks like I've got something good to start with.

I do every thing in my garage with the exception of fermentation. I have had no issues with it. My next investment will be a ferm chamber so the whole operation is in the garage.

I have 6-7 OZ of US goldings in my freezer. I would like to make something that is not called a stout. I have been trying to use the Google machine but I haven’t found what I’ve been looking for. I’m here to get suggestions on what I should make. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I'm hoping the washer will be a snug fit against the copper pipe and therefore give me a seal. There is no glue or anything doing the sealing.

I picked these up instead of O-rings. https://www.homedepot.com/p/DANCO-5-8-in-Hose-Washers-10-Pack-80787/203193507?keyword=037155807871&semanticToken=20030000+++%3E++++st%3A%7B037155807871%7D%3Ast++cnn%3A%7B0%3A0%7D++cnt%3A%7B0%3A0%7D++037155807871+%7Bproductkey%7D+qu%3A%7B037155807871%7D

I was hoping to model it after Jadeds cyclone.

I'm still in the process of building. We'll see how things go. I have rubber washers at the moment. It was the best idea I had without having to drill out a compression fitting. Any suggestions on a sealant are welcome.

I bought 1" PVC and caps. I feel more comfortable drilling holes in caps than in a compression fitting. At this point I have some rubber washers I bought to see if I can use those as a means to seal the hole with the copper running though it. I probably should have bought O rings instead. All in...

I really wish I had the wood working skills to make something like this.

This makes sense. I think I'm going to go with a double pipe CFC and go with the DIY option. Based on what you say here, I think, I'm going with 1" PVC pipe with 1/2" copper. I think your concept still applies and works here.

I am trying to build one of these, but I can't seem to find a good detailed list of parts. I tried going to Home Depot to just look for the parts. I can't seem to find the pieces I need in order to secure the copper pipe to the PVC pipe. Can someone help me out here?

When it comes to a CFC, does it make sense to have the 1/2" or 3/8"? I understand why the larger the better for an IC, is the same concept true for a CFC?
