I am reworking my old brew setup to incorporate a new CFC and keggle. I am thinking of capturing the hot waste water form the CFC in my cooler mash tun to then be circulated through the system for cleanup.
I will be using my outdoor water hookup, so I am planning on getting a RV water supply hose to fill the system and also supply water to the CFC. I could get a second RV water hose for the exiting waster water to run back up to the mash tun, but the CFC in the middle is good ol' black rubber. So I don't really see the point, since that'll taint the water already.
Do I stand a chance of introducing a rubbery taste into my system if I use post-black rubber hose water for CLEAN UP only? I will probably use the RV hose and fresh, cold water for rinsing.
See attached diagram for my plan.
My beer hoses are 1/2" thermoplastic hoses. I need to make a few more to allow for flexibility and reconfigurability in the system. Most connections are McMaster brass QDs, except for garden hose connectors on the supply and CFC.
