Your cooler is a thing of beauty Scooby. How much did it cost all in? I've got flux and solder already and a Bernz. I'm sloppy as hell with them though hence I use polyplumb whenever I'm doing any plumbing. A slick job Scoob would love to hear how it handles on the job.

With regards that radiator.....that's an abomination! What do you do with your towels? Wrap them around the coil? I doubt your missus would even let you go in the bathroom with a rad like that in it. You'll be showering at the end of the garden before you know it

Your wife obviously wants you to reuse all that stainless hosing as a huge mash tun manifold!! Maybe she is encouraging you to grow your brewery! :D

As you see it there the cost was a tad over £28.

Looking forward to seeing how it performs as well.

My wife also asked why I made it as I already had one, so I mentioned the bathroom we already had :lol:

I guess the people who would have a rad like that are the same ones who have an all sing all dancing high tech
kitchen and never use it :roll:
