The Bar Towel

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 cheaper

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.

That is very expensive. You could hard plumb for cheaper.

Thanks for the info!
