This is what I made this afternoon.
Its a simple set-up:
- 50' of 3/8" Copper Tubing
- 2 Compression to Pipe Union (3/8" - 1/2NPT) Watts A-124
- 2 Hose Adapters (1/2" NPT - 3/4 male garden hose) Watts A-668
- 2 Clothes Washer attachment hoses 4' each.
- 1 faucet to garden hose adapter
- 7 wire ties to hold it together well (less slinky-like)
Also needed;
- Teflon Tape for wrapping threads
- Tubing bending kit.
Close up of the fittings/ hose connections
I tested it with water so it doesn't leak. I'll being testing later to see how well it works with water (cooling boiled water), and not too long with a John Palmers Tittabowsi Brown Ale.![Mug :mug: :mug:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/sdrinking-100-154.gif)
