Took some ideas from here and made my own chiller. Cost was about $32.00 and took about 30 minutes to make. Works like a charm!

Mine cost me about 25 but gunna use here in about 15 . Brew on! Michigan water is still pretty cold:)
 
VA water gets pretty cold in the winter but I hate turning the pipes back on to use it. I need to get a sink faucet adapter for this. It's still pretty cold in the summer but not sure on the exact temp.

Extremely happy with how fast thing cools down wort. The older one I used easily took twice as long. Not sure if this one has more loops or if it's just wider tubing. Either way, very happy I made my own rather then spend twice the money on a store bought chiller. :rockin:
 
Nice, looks just like mine! You should place a steel clamp between the plastic tubing and the garden hose adapter (if you don't have one), trust me!
