Yes, I recirculate at the end of the boil to sanitize the CFC. I can see how the heat cycles probably do a number on it. You probably brew more often than I do, which is why yours wore out sooner.

Yup, I almost went for the thermoplastic too but I wanted to retain my ability to see wort flow through it. Silicone isn't clear but it's semi-opaque. It was worth extra buck a foot for me.
Yeah, I agree. Start up a thread in the DIY section for your build and include LOTS of pictures. I kinda wish I dropped a few bucks and made mine out of square stock. I do like how my kegs sit in cradles though, but that could easily be replicated just by tacking a couple stops to the top area.
Another thing I want to add to my setup is a couple of "U" hooks to the stand so that I can have them hold my hoses up when I don't have them connected to anything. Since the female disconnects I use are non sealing, I can't just dangle them on the floor or I'll drain the pump head.
Hey Bobby,
I was curious why you decided to go with non-sealing disconnects. I'm about to buy all my stuff from McMaster so if you have any sage advice, it would be much appreciated.
