Happy New Year folks!
Since we are all people who like to do it their own way, I felt the desire to make my own chiller rather than just buy one off the shelf. I picked up some tubing already coiled, as well as two pieces of straight pipe. I connected everything with elbows and soldered everything, including the connectors for the hose connectors. The inside diameter is 1/2 inch, outside diameter is 5/8 inch.
The two up pipes go high, but that was intentional for my kitchen. The clothes washing machine is feet away from my kitchen sink, so this will allow me to do everything in my kitchen by placing the brew kettle between both.
As I am a noob to brewing and making things on my own, I will appreciate constructive criticism and suggestions, just don't be harsh! lol
