Great price on copper coil at home depot.

[Bartp]

I went to home depot to get a copper coil. Much to my delight they had a sale that kind of blows my mind. 50ft of 3/8 copper coil for $15.03. Originally $62.99. I'm not sure if it's just my local home depot (San Jose, CA) or what, but if you're in a market of making a wort chiller it wouldn't hurt to call your local HD and see if same deal is available. Maybe they can price match if it's not. Hell just get some and take it for recycling. Make few bucks.

Holy S#!t... wish I had that deal near me, I pay $11 per 10 to 15 feet i think.

 

[dutchoven]

Which location? ... I'm there tomorrow ...

 

[day_trippr]

I ran into the same thing about a year ago and literally did a triple take - I kept thinking the footage wasn't really 50 feet, or the diameter wasn't really 3/8", or the price was wrong, or...

Finally dragged the box off the shelf and almost ran to the cashier to pay for it.

One chiller, dirt cheap!

Cheers!

Haha get there early! I think I'm gonna get more just in case! lol.

It was Blossom Hill Location in South San Jose (Santa Teresa and Blossom Hill). They probably had 5 more coils there. Ironically enough a person that I asked to double check that price for me was a home brewer as well. He's reaction was also "holy s*it", he said he's getting two of these at the end of the shift. lol. Call tomorrow morning and tell them to pull one on will call for you. Or give you a rain check if they're out.

Yellow tags are clearance items, we can't price match or rain check the prices. what you see is what you get, when its gone its gone. Usually its when we are changing vendors or something.

oh, good to know.

Holy $hit!

buy them out. then scrap the stuff... youll make money

 

[bigirishape]

Does anybody know if this is all locations or just this one?

I got a great deal when I bought the copper for my immersion chiller. They couldn't find the price in the system for the 25' rolls (there were two of them on the shelf, I wanted to buy one), so they charged me for the 10'-ers...

"Uh, do you mind if I buy both?"

 

[drocu]

I think I'll drop by HD later today to check this out. I have no need for this but the price is right. Maybe copper racking canes? I already made an immersion chiller and recently acquired a homemade CFC.

 

[jcdouglas]

I just stopped by my HD, no sale here.

 

[hawgwild81]

I work at HD in Little Rock, Ar. No sale here. It's $56.

As a homebrewer, you were supposed to buy all of them. You could easily sell them to people on this forum for $25 and they'd thank you for it.

 

[richbrew99]

Type in the sku on homedepot.com and in comes in at 43.16. You should be able to get the store to price match the web price.

This copper is HVAC-sized copper tubing. You will need HVAC-sized fittings, NOT the customary water/liquid fittings that the big box stores carry. I ran into that when I bought my tubing. Fortunately, I have a friend who is a HVAC tech, and got the fittings for me. Just be aware of that.

McMaster-Carr. When I got all the thin tubing I made a dual-coil chiller, but the only place I could find the fittings was M-C.

You can connect anything you need to pvc hose with hose clamps and then connect the pvc hose to the copper using hose clamps.

Huh? 3/8" OD tubing fits into 1/4" sweat fittings all day long.

+1 It's certainly not unique to the tubing on sale. It has always been thus...

Cheers!

I have though of that. Then I though to my self that coming home and saying "Honey guess what! I bought 5 coils of copper! It was a good deal" would not go overly well. haha

 

[Bobby_M]

It would go over well if you mentioned that $50 profit you'd pull in 5 minutes. I've never heard the old lady say that about 4 pairs of shoes that were on sale.

+2 I'd buy one off you. So, if you decide to do it, lmk cause I got DIBS!

 

[ekjohns]

called all the home depots in columbus oh and none of them have it on sale

 

[Bartp]

I'll swing by after work, if they have any more left I'll get some.

 

[h0rse27]

None in stock at the three stores I went to in the Sacramento / Elk Grove area.
Meadowview Rd. and Florin Rd. in Sacramento and the West Stockton Blvd. Store didn't have any.

 

[Bartp]

Well quick update.

1. I was able get one more coil for that price. So yay, 100' of 3/8 copper for $30.06. Im not sure what I'm gonna do with the extra coil yet, I might be greedy and just hang on to if for future projects. Like prechiller or a still lol.

2. Hello to my new wort chiller. Total cost was about $21 with vinyl tubing and hardware

 

[dutchoven]

Bartp ... Thanks for the heads up on the copper, I picked up a couple rolls and left a few for others. Glad you could get some extra. Chiller looks great; what did you bend the copper around?
