About the long rubber hose condensing the water out I've actually taken a 100' air hose and coiled it in a trash can of water with 25 lbs of ice when the normal water traps were not doing the job, then connect it to the water trap after the chiller treatment, you need to open the drain on the trap a little to let it piss out the water, other wise it fills the trap real quick.

The trash can may be replace with a cooler so that you can keep your beer cold at the same time, but if you go that approach keep an eye on the ice, you don't want warm beer.

Another Comment - that having a longer length of pipe before the water trap actually works better than right at the compressor. It give the air a chance to cool so that trap can work better particularly the can types then desiccant type filter after that.
