IGLOO Heavy-Duty 5-gal. Drink Cooler Review

IGLOO Heavy-Duty 5-gal. Drink Cooler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This cooler works great. We buy a 1 lb bag of ice and add 3-4 gallons of water. This will usually last thru whatever outdoor function we are at (picnics, soccer games, beach). I'd probably fill this dispenser at your destination unless you have a really secure way of keeping the container from going sidewise in your car and spilling.
We added the igloo beverage dispenser, but unless you are with a lot of other folks I probably wouldn't bother and just bring some plastic cups for your family members.
The lid is white and can get dirty easily, but it cleans up well with a soap and water. The container originally has a slightly funky new plastic smell, but scrubbing it with soap and water and letting it air dry out overnight seemed to fix it.
If you add gatorade be prepared for the inside white liner to get stained over time.
The 5 gallon size is much easier to manage than the much larger full size dispenser. This 5 gallon dispenser is easy to handle with one person (even when full), and you even works well for dumping water on the coach at the end of a big game.

Copper Coil Immersion Chiller 25 Feet Length Review

Copper Coil Immersion Chiller 25 Feet Length

glad i purchased the chiller with the hose ends already attached makes connecting hoses easy. had to go to the hardware store and pick up two short hoses, not a problem. i have made three beers so far with this chiller. it cuts off soooo much time and gets your wort down from boiling to 74 degrees in just a few minutes. this works for my 40qt boil pot and also fits inside my 22qt pot. make sure to check all the rubber seals inside the hose connection before connecting a hose, you may spray water right into your wort...

Only Learn To Brew has soldered fittings that will not leak with use. This immersion chiller offered by Learn To Brew will allow for rapid cooling of hot wort to yeast pitching temperatures. This chiller is approximately 25 feet of 3/8" copper tubing with metal garden hose fittings both female and male that are completely soldered into place eliminating any leaks and the potential bursting that is often associated with vinyl tubing that is clamped on with other models of immersion coils. No one wants a burst hose spraying non sterilized water into your wort ruining your beer. You do not want the vinyl tubing near the boiling wort as the high temperatures will significantly weaken the tubing. This is the best model available on the market!Soldered fittings will never leak. Compression fittings found on other styles of immersion coils tend to expand and contract with the drastic temperature fluctuations during the boiling and cooling processes. This expansion and contraction will loosen the compression fittings and cause you to leak unsanitized cooling water into your hot wort. You just worked hard to make your wort, you don't want to contaminate because of a loose fitting. The soldered fittings are solid and secure and will loosen as the compression fittings do. The copper loops on this chiller are also easy to adjust to just about any width you desire between the loops. Simply pull them apart to spread them out!

This cooler is great. I use it for home brewing (as a MLT) and it works amazing. It holds the same temperature for an hour when I am mashing. It makes brewing so much easier.

I bought this cooler to use for a mash lauter tun (MLT) for my home brewing. It is the perfect size and design to make a really efficient MLT. It is light, well built and retains heat and cold very well even in direct sunlight or the cold evenings.

This chiller will cool 10 gallons in about 6 min. The only issue I have with it is that it has no means to mount it. This makes it very difficult to handle at times. I would purchase again without a doubt.

Made with 11 stainless steel plates that have been fused together with copper solder, these chillers have small channels weaving their way up and down each plate. This creates more surface area for the wort to travel over, and more time for the water to cool the wort down.The Plate Chiller easily attaches to a garden hose and to tubing for transferring and chilling the hot wort with your water supply. This chiller is capable of cooling 5 gallons of beer in less than five minutes and 10 gallons in less than ten. Now that's fast! 12.5" long, 3" wide, and 2" thick. The wort inlet and outlet is 1/2 Inch Male Pipe Thread, and the water in and out is 3/4 Inch Male Garden Hose Thread.

The clamps on the vinyl tubing don't work. The thing sprays water every where. Sure the price is a good but I'm annoyed that I now have to go buy additional parts to make sure it works properly.
