Ordered myself a BIAB starter kit and noticed upon arrival that the wort chiller was simply a copper coil with no means of attachment to a faucet/hose etc. After some thinking I've realised its intended to be attached to a garden hose via jubilee clips. Unfortunately, my flat doesn't have a garden hose!
My previous brew day I managed to attach a 9mm pvc line to one end of the coil (luckily a perfect fit) and hold it under the faucet, flowing through at an incredibly slow pace...not much faster than allowing it to simply cool on its own.
A slightly convoluted solution I've come up with is to buy a small garden hose, screw it onto the faucet at one end using an adapter, and jubilee clip the other end to my chiller. A much easier solution however, would be to get my hands on some sort of adapter for my faucet that can allow me to simply attach the other end of my 9mm pvc line - does such a thing exist? Failing that, has anyone encountered a similar problem and solved it?
