@Dave H sounds like a feasible project. If I can get hold of stainless tube at a reasonable price I'll try it. It's doesn't seem the easiest thing to find though
@Ghillie I need to clear out equipment. If I replace this one I might sell it. It'll cool 25l in about 5 mins but it's just an awkward shape and a little heavy
@Ghillie can't remember, made it a few years ago. Certainly less than half the cost of buying a similar one.
Nobody's tried making a stainless chiller then? Copper could be a better choice but I might still try it

Here's my current chiller. I think it was as much an art project as brewing equipment
My copper chiller is leaking where it's soldered into a manifold so it needs fixed or replaced anyway. I just don't like how copper gets dull over time. I'm sure it's nothing, i just don't like the look of it. If steel is an option then I don't mind giving it a go
I've built a few copper immersion chillers in the past and I'm thinking of having a go at a stainless steel one. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or offer their own advice?
I need to know what grade of steel is suitable for bending. Where...
