    Been hunting around for some affordable RO components, on and off.....
    Finally found some... with any luck will be picking up this afternoon... and have a system ready for spring.

    Anyway - I'm reviving this thread, because I've been reading about how important it is, to keep concentrate cool....
    Been googling about how home brewers rip apart air conditioners, etc to create glycol chillers... (glycol because its food grade)
    and I had a brain-fart.... I think there's a pretty simple solution.
    Not sure if anyone has done this before?? Maybe its tested and true??

    ...but what do you think?? Tear it apart...
    Thanks
