To be honest, it's one reason I stopped ordering from MW. They used to gouge the living crap out of you on shipping and apparently some people complained. MW then sent out a splashy email saying WOW! NEW DEAL! WE NOW CHARGE YOU THE ACTUAL SHIPPING COST AND NOTHING MORE! Which means that for X amount of time, they were making money on the shipping. It peeved me enough to shop elsewhere.Anyone else see the 64oz stainless growler for $11.93? I put that, 1# of melanoidin, and a carbonator cap in the cart and it seems they want to make up for the deal in shipping. 22$ to ship to me from Minneapolis which is only 4 hrs from here. UPS Ground. Nah.

I've had the out side slide off while chilling. Its kind of funny unless someone gets hit with 180f water.Those of you who got that for $17 stole it. I've had it for ~6yrs and love it. Had a tough time getting the hoses to seal and added one extra clamp to each hose and tightened them while they were hot. Great chiller.

Out side was the problem on mine too. I thought about taking them off and gluing them on with Gorilla glue. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea on a new purchase.I've had the out side slide off while chilling. Its kind of funny unless someone gets hit with 180f water.

Before I switched to a different chiller. I thought about using compression fittings and hose connection. I nefer got around to it. Last time I used that chiller it was in a bucket like a jockey box. I was serving Berliner weiss. 3.5 volumes at like 20 psi.Out side was the problem on mine too. I thought about taking them off and gluing them on with Gorilla glue. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea on a new purchase.

Good deal! I'm kicking myself now. I planned on ordering it when I got home from work that day but it was fixed by then.Got my shipping confirmation. Looks like they made good on shipping the chiller.

No, slower but really insignificant for homebrewers.

Not a bad piece of equipment, especially for the price.

Well the cheap regulator from the OP I got has kicked the bucket I think. It doesn't have any adjustment. When you open the tank the pressure just rises until the needle is pegged. The adjustment knob is all the way out. I guess it was cheap enough not to worry about that much.

That makes me think the diaphragm is punctured, and you'd need a rebuild kit. It would probably be easier just to get a new regulator.
