Homebrewers - Whats in the fermenter?

[BlackDog]

I love the DIY wort chiller. Great job! I looked into buying copper to do it, but ended up buying THIS ONE, and am happy with it. It was basically the same price as the copper would have been at Home Depot.

When I priced the copper at the big box stores it was higher than the price at NY Brew Supply. However, after finding the 50' roll at the metal scrap yard I have less than $50 invested for a recirculating system.

I've been looking at getting a wort chiller, but have read that I can't attach it to my kitchen sink faucet because I have a sprayer installed with the fixture -- something about that makes it not work with the faucet .?.?.?

I have the same type of faucet but I do my brewing outside. You can attach a barbed x female garden hose adapter to connect to a garden hose.
