I settled for a Chillus Convolutus Counterflow Wort Chiller from More Beer The product has served me well for over 3 years. But with the addition of the Cam-Locks, I wanted to update the chillers capability. This involved adding a little bit of new copper to the Chiller and a female NTP fitting. Then I though, as long as I am doing this addition, why not add a temp fitting onto the Chiller. Then I would have the ability to monitor output wort temp during transfers into the carboy. I have to admit getting the chiller cut down was a pain in the ass...the copper used on the chiller was very soft and 3/8th's in size. (Which is not a standard size.) When cutting the copper, the 3/8th's just kinda bent inwards instead of cutting. So getting the trusty pliers. I had to carefully bend out the copper to accept the female connection. Not wanting to continue the 3/8 inch copper I then went into a 1/2 size for a "T" connection. From the "T" I added a female 1/2 NTP for the Cam-Lock fitting and a 1/2 male for the 3" barbed thermometer. I had from Morebeer.
Anyways pictures are always worth more than my stupid writing ability. So here we go...
