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!
Looks like the weather is nice there.
ReplyDeleteI sure miss fishing in Michigan.
We used to have a place called "Cedar View Resort" on McLaren Lake near Hesperia, Mi.
We used to spend our summers there when Anne and I were young (about 50 years ago!!!).

The weather has been absolutely perfect. Although some rain did roll in last night.
ReplyDeleteWhile on the pier in Grand Haven we saw a guy that was trying to land a huge fish - looked to be around 2 or 3 feet. He almost got it all the way in, but it unhooked at the last minute. At least he had several witnesses to his fish story.
