Ok... so it is not the best looking thing in the world, but it is 50 feet long and will cool down my wort WAY faster than my previous method (ice bath).

Nice work... if that thing doesn't say "I ride the short bus" I don't know what does.
Seriously, looks like it'll chill your wort down quickly! Appearance it over rated.

That's funny.
Good job, you're going to love how much time that saves you. I didn't have the balls to try making my own, I figured there was too much of a chance of kinking the tubing and ending up paying 3X what a store-bought version costs.

It may not be pretty but it sure is shiny! Looks good to me!

Nice, but it's too tall. Try to smash it down a bit. Make it about 1/4 that height. THAT will look totally sweet.

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Its...its...its beautiful. In a artsy sophistamacated kind of way. Hey if it works, it works.
I forgot the quote, something like "if something is stupid, but works, is it still stupid?"
How did you cool before this work of art? Bathtub of Ice like I did for too long?

Yup. Bathtub full of ice water. This should be an upgrade from that. Im brewing a batch of West Coast Blaster right now... so we will see how fast it cools and hopefully preserves hop aroma.
