We here at Curious Souls H.Q. are always looking for ways to save a buck or two. So, when shopping around online for a wort chiller for home brewing, we found the following prices: $65 @ Midwest (plus shipping) $70 @ Northern (plus shipping) $39 @ Amazon (plus shipping) So, off to the hardware store... 3/8" (internal diameter) Vinyl Tubing (10 feet) = $4.15 Sink to hose adapter (varies based on your type of sink) = $4.79 3/8" X 20' Copper Tubing = $24.13 Vinyl Hose Coupler = $2.49 Hose clamps (x2) = $1.70 Band-aids (x2 or x3 or x4) = $1.00 For a total of $38.26 (pre-tax, no shipping), we decided to roll our own. Here's how it went down... ( vid link ) And, of course, there is the joy of having made something all by yourself! Priceless & fun!
You two look to be having a fantastic time and I am thoroughly happy for you both. I hope you enjoy every moment! Even if you're ill it's better than working and you can still have a beer or ten in the mid-day hour.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Andrea and I might one day be able to do something similar then I remembered we couldn't because that would violate Andreas' master plan for our (my) life.
In case you are not familiar Andrea has a master plan for us (I really mean me) that can be summed up by saying that she is planning to keep me working, and saving as much money as possible along the way, with hollow promises of delayed gratification until I die. Effectivley milking my best years like some non renewable natural resource being bled dry. At which point she will buy a dozen cats and blow through the money earned during the best unfullfilled years of my life.
Did you know that it is legal in Arizona to beat your wife once a month?
