With regard to corrosion, I've seen no sign of any as yet and like you mention above, put this down to the relatively short exposure time.<br /><br />I've done several brew days since my last post but haven't gotten around to posting them yet. I must get myself back in gear and update this blog.Steve189https://www.blogger.com/profile/02171414265373571459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684293527047122993.post-56056915432034852182012-01-23T09:18:15.802-08:002012-01-23T09:18:15.802-08:00Fellow brewer from the US.

I used 20' of 1/2 " flexible copper with rigid verticals soldered on. I siphon my brews so I didn't need the base you have on yours. The big takeaway was using the aluminum supports. I installed 3 of them on mine. I love the stability and spacing they provide. I took your advise and drilled the holes in the aluminum with a 9/16" bit, making it much easier to thread the 1/2" tubing. I was couroious if you had any corrosion with the aluminum? Guru John Palmer wrote an article for BYO magazine about metals and had this to say " Aluminum will corrode if placed adjacent to another metal like copper in wort or beer, but the short contact time during a typical brewday is not a problem." Thanks again for posting your build, much appreciated. I'm glad I stumbled along your blog, very entertaining and informative. - Corey in IowaSingle aLe Brewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718426814199687240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684293527047122993.post-79835508554008582472011-09-06T05:06:48.499-07:002011-09-06T05:06:48.499-07:00Cheers Chris, it was indeed a pig of a job but the...Cheers Chris, it was indeed a pig of a job but the chiller has performed superbly on my first three all grain brews.
