Well,I made it.

If it was a cottage it would be be described as having 'rustic charm'.

Looks good, and will give you a glow of pride every time you use it !

Until it falls apart on the first proper use!

Forgot to say thank to manse for the bending spring tip-off,would have been disastrous without it.

Cheers Toffee, that looks a great buy for the money including postage!

That will stand proud of your wort in the Cygnet.

Hmmm... coils are 21cm high, just this second finished a 28L 'Black Sabbath' boil, lost ~4L over 60 minutes and final wort level measures 3cm below 'Max' mark i.e. 24cm deep. Overnight 'no-chill' for this one.

No matter, it's in the post anyway. I really fancy a homemade counter flow to get the job done fast but alas... I have very little free time atm due to a lot of unexpected/rare OT that's available. I'm taking it while it's going, I'll build a counter flow at Xmas :

Just had another look & you are right it will be fine, that will teach me to skim read.

Not much more expensive to build tbh. On mine I've soldered copper wire in a spiral wrapped around the outer of the 10mm pipe. Helps the water flow around the pipe, maximising contact or something....
