Thanks, RedIrocZ-28
After my last batch of beer took hours in the sink with about 30lbs of ice, I knew I wanted an easier, faster way. The ribcage IC from RedIrocZ-28 looked like it would fit the bill exactly with one problem.
My tap water is usually in the 80f range because I'm so far south. So, I also knew I needed an ice water recirculation system. But, I also needed to do this as cheaply as possible because low work hours and SWMBOs full time college is stretching us pretty thin.
I bought a box of copper tube:
Straightened it out so I could bend it into coils.
Took three measurements
