Dude, just make your own. It's worth the experience and it's cheaper than buying one. Plus, you can make it custom for you application, whether that be flow rate, faucet fittings, cooling line length, coil diameter, etc...

Its called being good at stuff. I learn skills all the time that end up translating to totally different activities.
Someone just sell the man a wort chiller and be done with it.
But I don't want to sell mine . And what I would be asking for a price, would include labor. So it would still be cheaper to build one than to buy one from me.
Anyone wanna sell theirs!!
So coiling copper hose is going to turn in to..... ? Coiling garden hose?
I don't get it. I've got a boat load of skills that I am sure no one here has, nor do they have any use for them.
If someone has money to just buy things, maybe they already have a whole set of skills that pays for their ability to buy things.
Maybe some people work plenty, have a family, and don't have time to DIY every last thing.
If a guy asks to buy a wort chiller, he's prob seen the 3 dozen threads on how to build one, as well as the 97 youtube videos and 1,032 google search results that show you how. Maybe he just wants to buy it.
Why is it that every time someone posts a want to buy or interest in buying something that could hypothetically be diy'd, some tool has to walk in and tell them to just make it. NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO DIY EVERY THING. Seriously.
It is as if you think that building your own wort chiller is going to change some level of masculinity and make you more of a man. There is a reason we evolved from cavemen. We're smarter now. Working harder is not the same as working smarter.
I'll sell you mine. $125 + shipping for a .5 in 50ft chiller with male and female hose fittings.
iaefebs said:I'll bet it's 3/8" tube. I built the same thing. If I remember right it cost me around $40 to build 5 years ago. I added the hose fittings this year and don't remember the cost of those. $5.00 each? Plus 4 90° fittings @ $2.00 each plus 5' of new copper tube $12.00?. I don't know that I could build it again for $125 so it sounds like a fair price.
