I have a 25' 3/8" immersion chiller that worked great for partial boils but isn't cutting it for full 5 gallon boils. I want to get 50 or 60' of 1/2" copper tubing to build a new immersion chiller, but Lowes wants over $50 for that amount. Does anyone know of an inexpensive source for the copper tubing?
Also, second question -- what is the best thing to use to attach to the copper? The immersion chiller that I bought on eBay has this cheap plastic stuff that just about melted when I put the chiller in the boiling wort to sanitize. However, since so many people recommend that approach, I figure there must be something out there that works.
Thanks!
