Absolutely no need to apologize, that's what the discussion board is for. I don't have any personal experience with that type of chiller, so I had to defer to the Google machine.

Here's one example I was able to find. http://homebrewers-haven.com/wpress/beer-brewing-equipment/diy-beer-brewing-equipment/diy-immersion-chiller/

And with a larger diameter copper tube, the less water you have in contact with the tube unless you move up to a larger diameter hose.

Yeah, that part helps!!

My water must be colder than yours - I get 5 gallons down to about 65° in less than 10 minutes.

3/8" seems to be very popular, and many use 25' lengths. I could only find 20' lengths in town, and I get at or below room temperature when it flows into the carboy.

I'm usually packing a 30 or a 21C, sometimes a Taurus .38, but my favorite is still my 23C. Hard to beat 14 rounds available in such a compact frame.

Easy now - we don't debate politics, religion, or firearm manufacturers in this thread. An armed society is a polite society. :) I've been carrying a Glock on my side in various capacities for the past 14 I've owned a few others, and they've been great guns. I love the modularity that they...

If you end up converting your box, post pictures, I would love to see how it turns out!

Mine is 20' and gravity feeds just fine. Most of the threads and instructions I've come across recommend a 25' length. I only went with 20' because that was the length of copper tubing I had available to me.

Same as with Dave, I could only find 20' lengths, however I wasn't as motivated as him to buy 50'! I do have the remaining house and copper fittings, that I should buy another 20' section and make another to sell. I ended up with a 20' CFC, and am able to convert the wort from 212 degrees to...

This. Although it added a significant cost to the project, I'm happy that I went with a hot water rated rubber hose.

I'm sure it would work out great. Try it and let me know how it works out for you! I'd make sure to keep a packet of 05 on hand in the fridge just in case....... :) I'll be working on loading up some brass in the near future as well, now that the snow is gone. kc

Ok, had some time this afternoon to do some finish work. I put rubber feet on the bottom to help absorb any vibration on the counter. I also put the rubber dots over the screw heads to give a solid platform for the flask to sit on. And I picked up a blue knob to complete the potentiometer. All...

Ha, I forgot, "photos or it didn't happen!!" I had some yesterday, but the spinning finishing nail just didn't seem to have the same finesse that a cool yellow stir bar would have. Photos and/or video to follow.

Ok I decide to give the Glock box a shot for my first stir plate. Seems to work well, creates a whirlpool in the liquid. I'll know more when my Northern Brewer package arrives tomorrow with my stir bars an my Dead Ringer IPA recipe for a BIAB on Sunday.

My brewing partner is almost as OCD about brewing and guns as I am. Not quite, but close. It would indeed get the attention of anyone who may be visiting though!

I have access to several Gen 3 boxes that I think would work. I'll do some measuring to make sure before I do any cutting or drilling. Appreciate the encouragement, I think that was the last little push to move forward!

I have slowly been acquiring the parts to make a DIY sir plate. So far the only container I've got around the house that has been jumping out at me is a couple of empty Glock boxes, as I've had at least one model of Glock at or near my side for the last 14 years. I was just curious if anyone...
