I'm looking at building a counterflow chiller and after looking around, the coils seem to come in either 20 or 50' lengths. Anyone interested in splitting a coil? I have no use for the other half, and don't feel like having it laying around.
Edit: 50' coil is $38+tax
Want to split a 50' 3/8" copper coil for counterflow?

I don't need any, but my suggestion is to wrap the copper around a keg, to get nice even coils. Then it won't look like my monstrous creation.

Can it not be wrapped around the keg to make a nice coil after it's been built? Just wrap it around then ty-wrap each coil together?

Sure, I just tried to coil it by hand and ended up with an ugly chiller. Still works great though.

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but where did you find your copper tubing at that price?
Thanks,
