Got all the parts and was back home at 8pm. by almost 9:30pm I was done. I couldn't believe how easy it actually was. Very excited to try it.
One little piece of information I'm missing though...how the hell do you use it?! What water source are you using?what hookup are you using form your kettle to the small copper tube that carries the wort? hoses? clamps? quick disconnects?
CFC's are fun to build, eh? Did you unwind your copper to be straight-ish in order to thread it into the hose, or did you thread the hose on with the copper in its curled state?
In my brewery I have standardized on having all pieces of "equipment" (eg kettle outlet, pump inlet and outlet, chiller ends, etc) to present a 3/8" male flare fitting. All of my hoses (braid reinforced PVC) have female 3/8" swivel connectors. In this way I can connect any piece of equipment to any other piece of equipment.
The easiest way I found to terminate the 3/8" copper tubing was to take a 3/8" male flare coupling (a brass fitting with a 3/8" male flare at each end) and drill out one end with a 3/8" drill. Then solder this over the end of the copper tube.
