Free to me 1/2" copper tubing

[Clann]

When I moved home I realized that I have about 50' of 1/2" copper
"Gas Line" from when I had gas appliances.

Big free IC chiller ?
I hear starsan can clean the copper up.

Or recycle it.

I have heard that you can take a cup or two of WHITE vinager and a tablespoon or two of salt. Dump that in a large pot. Fill the rest up with water. Submerge copper coil in that, boil until tarnish comes off.

After that I would use an Oxiclean bath. Then starsan...

But boy I would work to clean that up unless you think its really nasty.

 

[Clann]

Right, I have all 3 of those.
Its not terribly old or in poor condition so i think it will clean up well.

I would definately clean it up. Make a immersion chiller or counterflow chiller.

 

[Clann]

Well, its rolled and sitting in a starsan bath.

Will an overnight soak hurt?

 

[Tinga]

if you already have an IC i would sell it.

 

[Clann]

No way man, this is my first.

So free IC and the neighbor has lent me his 10# Co2 tank and regulator. Already have two pinlock 5 gal kegs so all I need is hoses and a picnic tap to dispense.

By the way, the starsan bath got my new chiller looking almost bran new.
