I accidentally ordered the yellow Acid-Resistant Loc-Line instead of the blue and orange Standard hose for mash recirculation/sparging. Why the does the polyester max out at 150°, but has the same operating temp and a higher melting point than the standard? Is this polyester still ok to use for 170°-180° sparge water? Aren't people using polyester for BIABs?
