I have a counterflow chiller currently and i am seriously debating taking it apart and putting copper where the current garden hose is. But i'm also debating just saving up and buying a whole new one instead of screwing the pooch incase i screw something up.

Anyone have any other links?
 
Just curious, why? Never really have heard of people not liking their homemade ones unless they used a ****ty hose. Is yours not rubber?
 
Mainly looks :) and I like projects. I am using a lower end hose though... and it did already have a small leak. if I went for the better quality hose it would be close to the same price as the copper. So its pretty close matched (home depot has 1/2 copper tubing, 20' for a bit over 20 bucks
 
If you're concerned about looks, from what I've seen the copper/copper CFC's are typically a fairly large (and I'd guess slightly cumbersome) overall diameter. Also much harder to get wound tight & neat. If you're just after something that looks sexy, I'd probably just drop the extra coin on one of the prebuilt convoluted CFC's.

I wish there was a way to do it though - I've got 60' of 3/4" copper along with both 1/2" ID and 1/2" OD tubing that I got for next to (relatively) nothing from the HD blowout sale. I thought about trying to make a 20' all copper CFC with 14 gauge copper wire wrapped outside interior tube for turbulence. Then i realized how much time and effort it'd take, and decided that my rubber hose 20'er does a pretty damn adequate job.
