Whats the big deal about using Copper in your DIY mash tun? Everyone seems to suggest this but I cant figure out why....CPVC is cheaper if Im not mistaken, so what makes copper a better alternative (if indeed it is)
FWIW, I know that the heat threshold for CPVC is somwhere around 180 degrees if I am not mistaken, that could be another reason.
Correct, ~180F is the threshold for maintaining safe pressure in CPVC pipes.
And you are cutting a ton of holes in it anyways, so the temp warning doesn't even matter.
thanks guys...Ive been leaning to a copper manifold, but it will run me extra $ than a stainless braided line setup which i just came across about 10 minutes ago...although I cant help feeling that if I go with the stainless line I will regret it for some reason later...Idk why, just an underlying feeling
I think the worry is that if it starts to deform/etc at that temperature range, it may be leaching things
