I was wondering what size hose I should use for my 5 gallon all grain gravity system - 3/4, 1/2, or 3/8. Can you get by with 3/8?
 
Most will depend on the outlet barb of your valves. 3/8 is typical. Sometimes 1/2. It also can depend on the hose. Some high temp hoses are a little less pliable so you have to go bigger because they wont stetch over the barb...
