Standing up for the Aussie Bottler
I've had a squizz through the wiki section, this section, searched in the forum and searched through google. I know there's a section in Palmer but it's brief.
I'm wondering if somewhere here is an illustrated guide to making a copper immersion chiller? I was going to make an offer on Brendo's but I like making stuff for my brewery (despite my spasticity) and if there is no such guide will post pictures and descriptions of whichever retarded way I end up doing it.
As far as I can work out I just need some coiled annealed copper, a small pot and some hose and clamp attachments to go from incoming to outgoing. Outgoing will somehow be directed to the garden (probably just collected in a vessel and transferred with pots.
Basic process seems to be bend copper around pot with two ends free of the main coil. I read something in palmer about tube benders to prevent kinks. Can anyone more trade minded than I tell me what that is so when I go shopping I look like less of a mong?
Cheers
