Found new use for old immersion chiller

[Miller4]

Small stock tank, little 12v wort pump, immersion chiller and a fire. Working better than I hoped for. Cheers.

So what are you heating your water for? is that your strike water and boil "kettle"? technically its a HERMS right? lol

One can only hope that galvanized tank has nothing to do with beverages of any kind...

Cheers!

Just me sitting in the galvanized tank drinking beverages, otherwise no home brew was harmed with this science project.

Hot tub, yes. Hillbilly, probably. Or as my wife sometimes says, “we are high class white trash.”

Nice!

Back in 1981 we made a 64 Chevy pickup into a hot tub. Emptied the water heater twice to get it warm enough, it was late September. Never tried to drive it filled.
The next door neighbor was a teacher at the High School who knew a couple of the "attendees" from having them in his class several years earlier. He came out and saw us in the driveway, 6 of us with our girlfriends all nude!
He just shook his head and went back inside.

Nice firepit BTW!

I like it! Hot tub and a nice fire for roasting weenies.

In the summer you switch over to this.

The test batch worked well enough that we decided to class it up a little. Going to finish it off with either fence boards or old corrugated galvanized panels wrapped around and a lid to match. Hoping to get some good use out of it over the weekend. Will update if I ever finish it.
