Adelaide: Need Copper Tubing To Make Manifold

[MaltyHops]

G'day,

I want to make a small copper manifold for a mashtun
so would like to hear from Adelaide members who either:

* have surplus copper tubing they'd like to offload, or

* also planning to make a manifold and interested in going
halves to get some tubing

I'm thinking of using 19mm OD tubing and bunnings have 3m
rolls for $29 at present (would be interested to hear of and
cheaper sources, of course)

you only need about 12 inches

Hi Maltyhops,
I've got a couple of metres of 3/8 annealed copper that you are welcome to if you want Tom.

Almost the same as mine, except I drilled a hole through the 'intake T' so that the middle length goes from top-to-bottom.

Nicely engineered but looks like a bugger to clean. Greatplace for pediococcus and lactobacillus to hide.

Ok, warily backing away from path to potential naughty humour - tho
Yardy's link doesn't help with this - I'm after about a metre of tubing
only hence seeking anyone else interested in shared buy.

Thanks Nige, might take you up on it but do you think 3/8 (assuming this is
inside diameter and = ~9mm) is large enough for a manifold?

This is the size I use in my current and previous mash tuns.
