We began with 50' of 1/2" copper tubing. We coiled the tubing around a Cornelius Keg. This keeps a uniformed coil from top to bottom and the Corneluis Keg is the exact diameter to my boil
kettle's opening.
I make this look easy.
Then we soldered 90 degree copper elbows to both ends of the copper tubing.
We measured the rigid pipe to reach over the rim of my boil kettle.
Cousin Lalo (Pronounced Lah-Loh) was kind enough to solder a couple more pieces of rigid pipe to the other end of the wort chiller's coil. It shoots across the diameter of the coil to another 90 degree elbow and up and over the kettle's rim.
Unkowningly, we also created the chiller's carrying handle. I know you can say it, ingenious!
From there, we added 2 more 90 degree elbows creating the inlet and outlet water supply lines.
We also threaded to the ends of the female fittings a couple of quick-disconnects and hoses.
Final product in its natural environment.....
Voila!
Final Note: This is how we measured the rigid pipe. Just an eye measurement to fit over the rim of the boil kettle.
