In my defense, I think I've been perfectly clear that I'm not trying to be helpful.
They're pretty huge (I have one). Are you trying to chill five gallons of stock?
A plate or counterflow chiller is a more reasonable size but more expensive, and then you need a pump as well.
Would the greater, er, particulate content of stock compared to wort be a problem? Seems like 3/8" tubing would gunk up pretty easily.
I don't think the stock or the wort goes in the tubes.
Wort can be fairly sludgy at times. More so than stock I've made, anyway, though in both cases you need a filter in front of your pump. (The immersion chiller in the OP is fine either way, since the liquid being cooled stays outside it. Also better for cleaning that way.)
The internet is a series of pages about tubes.
Here is a nice compact immersion chiller, probably better for a stock pot.
There are also tools really intended for stock, like a cooling paddle.
2: well, that one says it's intended for one to three gallons; I've definitely made two gallons or more of stock at a time. But really, it's the principle of the thing. (I was looking because I've been contemplating making plum jerkum or some cherry-based something, though either of those is probably a little much for a first brewing project. But I don't care enough about beer to want to make it at home.)
I care so much about beer, but lately it's just been killing my stomach.
That's funny -- I remember that post, and I remember thinking that what you wanted was exactly a wort chiller, but apparently I didn't say anything. Whoops.
Neb is slowly turning into mister hipster craft beer guy. That's what moving to Brooklyn will do to ya.
Is Brooklyn nice? I've never been, but in literature (Knuffle Bunny), it seems nice.
Parts are beautiful, parts aren't.
I guess I'm not going anywhere in New York for a while.
It's fixing to be hot and humid as all get out for the next several days, and that isn't nice.
Can't you just put a couple of window units in the barn?
I'm trying to make tonic water concentrate now, and as a jury-rigged chiller equivalent, I'm filling up a cocktail shaker with cold tap water, letting it sit in the broth for a few minutes until it warms up, then changing out the water and repeating.
Make sure somebody didn't pee on your leg.
Update: It might have cooled down a bit faster than otherwise but it was very tedious. I repeated maybe five times.
I'm afraid to google it in case it's a porn thing. Why would you want to make tonic water concentrate?
I gave in and googled. I had thought you were boiling tonic water to concentrate it, but the actual thing makes more sense.
Another day at the Coca Cola plant, boiling down the finished soda for the machines
So do they let you fuck the soda or no?
