I have 30 ft of 1/2" OD copper tubing and some access to fittings for 1/2 copper.
I have a plastic cooler 1' X 2' and it has a split lid, or the lid has two parts, with a drain
An inline condenser with hose cooling water inlet/outlet, and 1/2 nominal chilled beer inlet/outlet, all copper but the water pipe solder (95/5 tin/copper)
And a co2 tank (empty)
I want to make this without buying much else, anything you guys think ill need or want please let me know. I plan on cleaning the chiller between brews with acetic acid, its vinegar but 50% acidity instead of the store bought 5%.
The reason I mentioned the empty tank is that I can pull a vacuum on the empty tank and make the boiled wort travel to another 'thing' that collects it, without aeration. I want the 'thing' to be my fermenter, but ATM I want to make my first beer in a 5 gallon bucket.
EDIT: I added a pic of the inline condenser to give you guys an idea of what it is.
