I am looking at buying the 30-plate chiller from DudaDiesel with 1/2" male NPT connectors all around.  However, I can't find a garden hose adapter for it.  I have found the hose barb adapters at www.bargainfittings.com  but they don't carry the garden hose adapter.  Any ideas?

Like this?  http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xhc/R-100161654/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

Forgot to add that I also use a valve for the water, a valve for the hot wort and a thermometer on the output so I can dial in the temperature.

Hmm, yes though I think I'd prefer SS or brass.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I think HD and Lowes and Ace probably have something, but if not you could get these:
http://fittingsandadapters.com/garhosad.html they have both male and female garden hose to female 1/2" NPT

We were just out in Virginia for Christmas. We really liked the Devil's Backbone Brewpub and Blue Mountain.

Northern Brewer carries polysulfone disconnects with garden hose fittings that are rated up to 280 degrees:
