Folks
I've upgraded to a fermentation fridge so my old home built ice powered chiller is now surplus to requirements (ie: taking up space and the missus wants it gone).
Its not pretty but it works. Its built from 50mm closed cell foam insulation. One side takes a fermenter or 2 jerry cans, the other side take up to 4 frozen 2l milk bottles. It has a fan to push the cold air around and a secondary copper coil on the side so you can circulate either extra cold water or as I did in the winter - hot water to keep the temp up. All you need to add is a thermostat (since mine is now driving my fridge).
Its too big to post so pick up only (Sydney). If you're interested, shoot me a PM. A 6 pack of something decent and its yours.
