I recently came to own an immersion chiller. It is 18 wraps of 3/8" tubing. I'm guessing 50 feet of tubing.
I have a plate chiller but dislike it because it is very prone to plug. I'm not a fan of immersion chillers. I'd love to have a tubing type counterflow chiller.
How difficult would it be to convert this chiller to a counterflow design ?
How hard would it be to push hose over the existing wound copper coil ?
What kind of hose would work best ? Cheap 1/2" garden hose ?
How about Aqua Joe
Is it worth winding the copper tubing with copper wire to increase the turbulence of the cooling water ?
Thanks
