Faucet Connector for Wort Chiller?

[ColmOM]

Planning on getting my first brew on this Saturday but I'm missing one vital bit of equipment. I bought a wort chiller from the Homebrew Company but it didn't come with any tubing (I thought it would). So I've two main questions: where's the best place to get tubing in Cork for this (and for a run-off from the ball valve mash tun tap) and would any of ye know where I could get some form of adaptor to connect the tubing to my kitchen tap which is a faucet design? Doubt regular hose adaptors or jubille clips will fit so I'm pretty stumped

Also, where'd be best to get gromets for fermentor lids?

Your local hardware store will have hose pipe and a little attachment that screws onto your kitchen tap. Looks like this.

Sweet, thanks for the swift reply, it's much appreciated!

Garden hose and hose fittings are fine for the chiller. You should be able to find a fitting to suit your tap in B&Q, Woodies or local hardware shop.

I'm not sure where you'll get tubing for your mashtun runoff. Maybe Micro Hydraulics in Little Island? I could give you a meter or so of tubing if you can collect it from me (Waterfall / Ballincollig).

You'll probably be fine just letting it run into the kettle without tubing?

You might be able to get gromets in the Health shop in Paul St, over Tesco. I know they had a selection of bungs the last time I was there.

Most hardware stores will screw you on the price €10-€15. If you have an aldi nearby they might have some of these left over from the summer for < than €5.

Not 100% but I'm pretty sure I got mines for around €6-7 in a hardware shop up Dorset St. Definitely less than a tenner.

You can get tubing in B&Q in Mahon, but I usually get mine in one of the Co-ops, like Carrigaline, because it's all food grade as it's intended for dairy farmers.  For supplying the wort chiller though, it doesn't matter, so the B&Q stuff should be fine.
