Yeah, that was the plan. Have you done it before? Any tips?

So the water comes over the overflow, down under the first baffle, over the second baffel and then pumped back into the tank.

Good catch, I will definitely move that baffle up! Much appreciated

I tried making a beer fridge cooler once but it failed. I looped a ton of plastic tuning in it but it didn't work very well. I later read that you really do need the titanium loop found in real chillers to make it semi efficient. Also the compressors in these fridges aren't made to be worked so hard and die pretty quickly. Just what I'd read before I bought a real chiller. Hopefully you have better luck!

Hmmm, I really haven't put much thought into the chiller side of things yet. I could always buy one, but they are just so expensive that it wouldn't be for a while. Do you know if you can get the titanium loops somewhere cheap?
I think I could get away with running the water closer to 15 degrees but don't know if I would want to get it any higher than that.
