Local sources for silicon hoses
Does anyone use hoses suitable for hot wort that attach to standard bulkhead nipples. Everywhere I see it's vinyl with the occasional latex hose at the big box stores. I was thinking some medical suppliers, any ideas?

An Industrial Supply company is probably your best bet, any Acklands-Grainger affiliate should carry it, but a local supply co. might get it for you cheaperphirleh wrote:Does anyone use hoses suitable for hot wort that attach to standard bulkhead nipples.

I would try rubberline.

Brantford seems to be the closest to you.

Thanks for the suggestions, both aren't too far from me.

For anyone interested, I talked to someone at rubberline, but the cost of silicon hoses is prohibitively expensive (at least for me). The cost was about $12 per foot, and if they don't have any in stock, you have to buy a 50' roll if they order it. I ended up getting some braided gas line from homebrew supplies that is sufficient for high heat transfers of liquid.
