whirlpool emmersion chiller build
« on: October 04, 2013, 08:38:18 AM »
Here is the new whirpool emmersion chiller I made last night.  Leak test passed but should have laid of the IPA my buddy had from North Carolina.  Test its chilling power on Sunday on a batch of beer.  Thanks again Adam for the help at Eddy's.
Fermenting: Air
On Tap: Hoppy Porter

Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced pump we could use with this?

Your setup looks nice.

This is a pump:

People complain about it but it does the trick. Power supply not included but that shouldn't be a problem for a resourceful person like yourself.

I'm very happy with my chugger pump I got on amazon. It plugs into a normal outlet and has a stainless steel head. It's more expensive than the obk greatbreweh pump but you won't have any issues with threads not lining up or burning out power supplys.

I have a greatbreweh pump, no complaints whatsoever. In fact its nice because its so small you can take a QD and attach is right to your ball valve. But i do plan to upgrade some stuff at one point and will probably go with a chugger from proflow dynamics... Likely the Polysulfon Plastic pump head.
