Has anyone ever taken a temperature reading of the water(not the wort) that is leaving the counterflow chiller? The reason I ask is because I am shopping for a rubber hose to make a CFC and was wondering what temperature rating to use. I have seen hoses rated for 160 degrees, and others rated for 200 degrees . Is the 160 degree rating high enough to handle the outgoing water temp? I know the exit water would be hot, but i'm looking for an exact high temp reading. Thanks
