Dual / twin immersion chiller - worth it

[Ashman]

I sourced some 10mm to 1/2 bsp male parallel compression fittings to build an immersion chiller. Really easy build with Output 1/2” is shower hose and input 3/4” washing machine hose. it’s also easy to get from 1/2” to the 3/4” for outside tap or to the kitchen tap adaptor.

Anyway I sourced a 10mm to 1/2” tee fitting so in theory I could split the input feed to dual cold and run 2x 10mm coils. Has anyone done this as with 1 coil it cooling was pretty rapid cooling?

Here is what I started with ...

Remember that a greater surface area of cooler will give a better cooling effect.

Enjoy!

That’s a beast. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m only working with a small pot but will scale it up.

There doesn't seem to be much wrong with what you have.

My only comment would be to add a couple of bends at either end so that they hang over the sides of the pot and nothing can run along the chiller into the wort.
