Thanks to all for the advice and guidance on how to build a Counterflow Wort Chiller. For someone that has NO mechanical aptitude or plumbing skills, I can say that I am happy that it is done. I even have a few burns from hot copper during the sweat/solder process.
In all, I started with a 50' hose and 50' x 3/8 refridgeration tubing. THe end product is a 42' CFC. Still need to zip tie it up and run a leak check on it. I used a 5 gallon bucket for the coiling and there are 13 coils.
Wish I had time this coming weekend to pressure test and run a first batch of brew through it.
