How do you guys connect the wort-in side on your Therminator?
I've been having the issue that I cannot get a good seal on the inlet side for the wort loop, resulting in well aerated hot wort, not to mention a few instances of hot wort shooting everywhere. I'm used a barbed fitting and tube, but the connection loosens dramatically when heated. I've tried using worm-drive clamps, but this hasn't sealed well, most likely due to uneven pressure on the tube. My next thought was to try nylon snap grips (link below), but I figured it would be better to ask around before sinking more money.
