WANTED: 2" copper pipe

Post by sgrhyno » Thu May 04, 2017 1:31 pm

I'm looking for a 3-4' length of 2" copper pipe for a new 'project'. If anyone has any they are willing to sell please let me know.

Cheers!

Yes, that stuff is expensive! Ended up doing my 'project' in 1.5. Works great and much cheaper.
I now need a 2 to 1.5 adaptor to make a sanke adapter to finish my new boiler.
Drinking: Best Coast IPA, Old Speckled Hen Clone, Northern Lights (NG),
Belgian Saison, Blonde Ale, Toy Soldier Stout(OBK) and 14G batch of ESB.
Fermenting: Taking a rest!
Scheduled: Another 10G of Toy Soldier Stout.

There is a length of 1.5 on kijiji right now, but I really want to hold out for the 2". I have a very cool end product in mind that incorporates the brew gear as well. I guess I'll have to wait patiently....

Any pictures of what you've built?

Assuming we are talking about the same type of project...
viewtopic.php?f=41&t=10568
Used to sit on a 3gal pot , then on a t500 lid on a grainfather, now I have modified a sanke with a 4500w element and going to make a sanke adapter to fit it to. Then I will be able to do man size batches :banana:

Mines both pot and reflux. The column (insulated) comes off and the piece from there up plugs in.
Drinking: Best Coast IPA, Old Speckled Hen Clone, Northern Lights (NG),
Belgian Saison, Blonde Ale, Toy Soldier Stout(OBK) and 14G batch of ESB.

Nice! I especially like the Parrot. Planning for mine to be a little simpler that yours, but i am starting from scratch with the sanke. I'm going for full reflux, but have found some good copper scrubbies that would pack the column nicely if i decided to. Good times... :rockin:

I meant "not going for reflux"

I ended up going stainless scrubbies. A lot of the copper ones aren't pure copper.
This model is quite easy to make and its a big bonus it being both P and R.

The most expensive part was the stainless needle valve, but worth every penny.

If you can find a couple people who want to do a similar project, the price of a full length isn't that bad.

Yeah, for sure. New pip would be way better that old stuff too. Know anyone? Hahaha
