Save money - build your own immersion wort chiller

Attention Homebrewers!

In the video below, Siciliano's staffer Greg 'Swig' Johnson demonstrates how easy it can be to bend copper for a homemade 50-ft immersion wort chiller. Why build your own? Short of stealing your brother-in-law's*, it's probably the most economical way to secure a chiller of this length.

Tips on building your own

• For good directions, have a look at this link
• Copper tubing is available at most hardware stores
• Look for soft, bendable 3/8" copper tubing, 50' in length, like this
• Hose, clamps, and fittings are available at Siciliano's
• Including copper and additional parts, the total cost to you should be $65 to $75 (much depends on how cheap you find the copper)
