Hey,
I have searched around a bit but had a hard time finding anything really definitive. I started out making wine - lots and lots of wine - and migrated into making beer kits, then extract brew... and now am going to do my first all-grain beer on Sunday.
My question is about the clear tubing I have from wine making. When I have cleaned it with hot water it gets really soft. I want to know if it is unsafe or bad-tasting to use the tubing to transfer wort that is near boiling temperature. I'd rather not go out and spend money on new tubing if I don't need to, but I do want to do it right. Thoughts? And if this isn't okay, what should I be using? Cheers
