How to make a wort chiller for homebrewing

Step 7 Making the wort inlet cont'd

Take the 3/8" compression fitting with the female end and remove the nut and compression ring. I used a pair of clothespins to hold the tube in place and to prevent the nut and ring from sliding down into the cooler.

Tighten the nut and compression ring onto the fitting and put on the hose barb adapter.

This is where the wort will enter the chiller via clear tubing that will slide onto the barb.
