Chiller attachment issues

[bradicalism]

Hi everyone,

I finally bought a chiller after months of sink baths and late nights. Was super excited to give it a go, got the attachment for regular sinks and brewed away. When the time came however it turned out the cooler would not attach to either my kitchen or bathroom sink with or without the adapter. Any thoughts on other ways to get it to work?

I use a garden hose. You can buy the adapter at any hardware store.

Interesting. So the garden hose naturally attaches to the chiller? And the attachment is for the sink or vice versa? Or would I need two?

Yup most attach to the 3/4" garden hose fitting. The adapters are usually for faucets inside the home

You can also buy an adapter from a shower head to a hose size then use hose. I do that and it works fine since I usually chill in the basement.

Interesting! My local homebrew shop sells adapters for standard sinks but it didn't work on my kitchen or bathroom faucet. I'll try this out!
