Hello All. I was fortunate to pick up one of those Home Depot blowout copper coils for $16. It's 1/2"x50'. I make almost exclusively 5 gallon batches in a converted keg, and am wondering if I should just use the entire roll. The dimensions of More Beer's chiller are: 12" diameter x 11.5 to top coil. When I measure my sight glass, 6 gal only comes up 7". My concern w the extra height is that it will slow down flow when I'm recirculating ice water for the second half of my chilling. I do make the occasional 10 gal. batch. Thanks
