new toy: copper immersion wort chiller

With my commencement rolling by last week, the family celebrated and donated generously to the beer-making budget. First purchase? A 25′ copper immersion wort chiller, essential for bringing 5+ gallons down to pitching temperatures. I have been lurking homebrew forums for a while and considered scraping together my own until I saw this excellent deal on ebay. For $40 (including shipping!), I got 25′ of 3/8″ copper already bent into the correct shape and all the other required fittings. The seller was excellent and the chiller looks even better; I’ll share cooling stats (yes, engineering! cooling efficiencies!) after my next batch.
