New chiller

[FuzzyIguana]

Got this for a steal on Amazon. $48.00 with free shipping (Prime). She is a GORGEOUS SS chiller.

Wow... that's a lot of SS. Just remember not to grab the outflow tube early on... don't ask me how I know this.

$48?!? Damn nice find, is that 3/8”x50’?

I just ordered one. I was going to do a copper diy but price is too good to pass up!
This is the last item needed to complete my all grain setup!

Awesome. Yea it's a steal and the quality is on point. Took 2.5 gals from boiling to 70 degrees in about 7 minutes. Did you purchase the 3/8”x50'?

 

[FuzzyIguana]

Price went up a few bucks and not prime now. Amazon changes stuff so much but this is still an absolute steal.

That is a nice looking cooler. I got a smaller used copper one for $10 dollars US.

Yeah 3/8” by 50’ it was $55 & won’t arrive till the 5th, but still a great value! I’d spend that much in copper for a DIY project.

There's only 2 things I will do to modify this in the future. Compression fittings with quick disconnects on the supply and return arms, and upgrade the hose to high temp silicone.

Thanks for the heads up! Ordered mine today.

With ya on the fittings, but why the silicone?

Same here, thanks OP.

Not first on my list of things I want, and not even on the things I need list, but this is too good to pass up.

Personal preference I guess? The clear plastic hose is quite a bit more stiff - especially the cold water in side...easier to coil up when storing, and in my experience the plastic hose doesn't always seal the best on the SS tubing. That, and I find the silicone hose from brewhardware.com to be the easiest for slipping it over the cam lock barb I will be using. They sell really high quality high temp silicone hose.

You're welcome [emoji106]

Got mine today, no issues, great value. Only thing I noticed is that the bends at the top are bent normally vs. Mandrel, so there is a slight kink. I have zero issue with this, but figure I'll mention it.

 

[FuzzyIguana]

Mandrel benders are way more $ but much more uniform. Still the flow rate and value are too good for that to even matter!
