A good wort chiller runs from $60-$100+ (plenty more than $100, none less than $60), and 3/8" copper tubing is around $2.19/ft! Needing 25-50' of tubing, a garden hose, clamps, etc, you're looking at a $100+ DIY project anyway!
While I know we're all a fan of DIY projects (if we weren't, why would we be here ), is the extra $$$ worth the satisfaction of doing it yourself? Is there a cheap way to make one? I'm a poor ass college student, if I could get away with a wort chiller made of dirt, I'd still steal the dirt to make it!
