<p>Hey all,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks for your replies after asking around I didn't have much luck with a spring pipe bender but I managed to borrow a full on pipe bender from work for the 90° bends. The 'coil' section ended up being pretty straight forward as I borrowed a corny keg to wrap it around. There is a little bit of rippling and some kinks on a couple of the 90° bends but overall i'm happy. </p>

<p>Hi Boon, </p>
<p>Do you know any electricians, quite a few of them have bending springs for installing heat pumps. Not to hard to find in Wellington but not sure what stores you have in <span>Dunedin. I ordered mine through an electrical wholesaler - might be worth a try, or stores that supply heat pump installers etc, I can't remember the name of the air-con shop I went to but some of them will let you borrow a pipe bender for a couple of bends</span></p>

<p>Hi Alan,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Did you have any trouble finding the spring pipe bender? I've been to Mitre 10 and Bunnings in Dunedin and both have only had large 'pipe bender' hand tools. I looked closely through the plumbing section (with a guy from Bunnings) and still couldn't find anything. He said that if Bunnings stock it anywhere in NZ then they should have it - You don't happen to have the barcode/product code etc? </p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm not quite sure where else to look for one. Thanks. </p>

<p>Nice work guys, Yea I got my copper tubing bout a week ago and used a pot shape the coil. Didn't want to kink the pipe so got a spring pipe bender from Bunnings ($8). Worked pretty well but took an age to twist it off once I had made the bends. Ended up using the whole length of tubing (sorry Mark) as am intending to upgrade my kettle to a keggle and hope this IC will do the job.</p>

<p>Awesome man, sounds like a rad set up. Same pot we were discussing in the 'Pot quality' discussion, really happy with it now. After the faffing getting the right size (ended up with 51L now instead of 31L since they sold out of the 31L) it's a really good pot for the price :) I'm keen to get a chilly bin mash tun going too, tried BIAB a couple weeks ago and it went ok, lost so much heat through the stainless steel pot though, even if its wrapped in a blanket.</p>

<p>The IC works a treat, cooled my batch on saturday down to about 24c in ~15 minutes. Makes clean up a breeze too, I've got a big 150-200L plastic storage bin thing, fill that with all the water and dunk away!</p>

<p>Nice work...I will be ordering from this guy shortly. Looks like you have same/similar Kettle to me too. I have the 51Lt pot and am now set up to do 20Lt batches, with my HLT and Chilly Bin Mash Tun. Good work. I will chuck up a pic of my IC once I get the brass and get round to making it! Let me know how yours works!</p>
