How to make a wort chiller for homebrewing

Step 3 Materials

Now that the ball valve is in place on my cooler, I can begin to transform my ordinary cooler into a wort chiller.

I used:
- 18' of 3/8" soft copper tubing
- (1) 3/8" compression fitting with a 3/8" male end
- (1) 3/8" compression fitting with a 3/8" female end
- (1) 3/8" brass hose barb adapter with a 3/8" male end (not pictured here)
- teflon tape

The tools I used were:
- Two wrenches
- a 3/8" soft copper tubing bender
- a drill with a 1-1/2" hole saw
- a pipe cutter
