HI all, just want to get some other peoples experience with using nylon in contact with boiling wort. Background is I now have a flowmeter hooked up to my pump, the housing is made from nylon. So far what I am reading is nylon should be physically able to handle 100°C / 212°F wort but not 100% sure on if any flavours will come out. I have seen people using "nylon" mesh bags for hops / grains but I have never been 100% sure these are nylon or some other plastic.
So anyone want to ease my concerns with their experience?
For the record I am planning on testing it by pumping boiling water round for 1-2 hours and then checking to see if I can taste anything.
Cheers
