wort chiller help on retwisting chiller

Post by huntfisher »

My loops on the top half of wort chiller (50ft copper) are really spread out. Is it best to bring closer together while water is being ran through chiller, so it doesn't break the copper. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thinking of brewing ten gallons now, so I just need to fix wort chiller.

Loops that have opened up are no problem provided all loop stay in wort. I would, however, recommend that you solder some small pieces to keep chiller from spreading more. Not sure how to do this? PM me for assistance
