Whirlpool Immersion Chiller

Just a pictorial of my latest brewery addition, a Jamil Zainasheff inspired whirlpool immersion chiller.

First, I started off with some virgin soft type copper tubing. 50ft, 1/2" OD.  I bent it up into shape.

Bottom bends are the most difficult

Test fitted to the new 50L Keggle

Next, I soldered some 1/2 ID copper pipe with a couple of 90 elbows and a 3/8" reducer to improve flow.  Note, in this picture I am using the pump and whirlpool attachment to rack from my boil kettle to carboy.




Add some 1/2" silicone tubing and here's the unit in action

The pump setup.  This is a Great Brew Eh pump.
