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!
Hey - you guys are in Canada, according to your map. Awesome stuff.
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you are going to be in Calgary. We have an extra bed, and you would have your own shower to use.

Thanks, Terry! After Vancouver, we are going to roll back down into the Seattle area to spend some time with some Phoenix friends that are making the trip up to meet with us. What good friends we have!
ReplyDeleteAfter that, we are headed East to Glacier National Park and may or may not head back North after that. We will certainly let you know our plans and we really appreciate the kind offer!
