Hey guys, whats up in Chicago?
So I was brewing today and everything was going really well for a change. Then came time to chill and this happened. My copper imersion chiller sprung 3 leaks. Is this a thing? Has this happened to anyone else before the aewsomness of the CHAOS counter flow chiller that is. Ruined a 5 gal RIS as it dumped about a gallon of hose water into my RIS. I checked it before putting into the wort as I was cleaing it and noticed nothing..jpg)

shoulda just reboiled for a minute!!! but yeah that is strange
Holy cow - did you use a power washer as your water source?
I've never seen anything like that that happen. We've been using the same old CHAOS copper coil again this winter - no problems at all (except all the fittings still leak as usual). That's really bizzare. Not sure if you bought that coil or made it - but if you purchased it somewhere, I would raise a stink no matter how long its been.
Bad news about the RIS!
Wow, that's pretty crazy! What's in the water up there?!
It most likely had residual water in it and froze over the winter.
