Jockey Box Coil

[elmito]

Is there any reason I couldn't re-purpose this stainless steel wort chiller to be a jockey box coil?

Unfortunately it doesn't specify what type of steel it is. What do you guys think?

Or perhaps this one?

i suppose you could, most people run 50' or more to chill the beer sometimes up to 120', so you might have to pre chill the kegs. I use a cold plate in mine so someone might be able to better offer advice.

Well, I do plan on having the kegs on ice. I know if you plan to run the kegs at room temp then you need at least 50' of tubing. I'm mostly asking if this is the right type of steel for the job. I don't understand why folks would spend so much on ss tubing and shape it themselves if these come coiled already.

Those prices look good, but if you don't find one you want also look at Stainlessbrewing.com, they have pretty good prices for coils.

It says "stainless", or are you wanting to know the alloy type of stainless?

I think it says it's Stainless Steel multiple times in the ebay listing.

The seller should be able to tell you if it is 304 stainless, which is am acceptable alloy for beer. Send them an e-mail.
