I was thinking of building a heat exchange coil out of copper tubing to recirculate my mash through. Would copper be a poor choice to build a coil for this purpose mostly worried about off flavors since copper copper is a seeming practical choice for it malleability and heat exchange...

I have a 2L starter of wyeast 3711 buzzing away right now so maybe these next few weeks I'll see I I can play around with a heater and hit the temps I want. I figure...
