The Benefits Of Silicone Tubing For Transferring Hot Wort

14th Dec 2014

Here at Flex Technologies, our promise to you is very simple: Produce the highest quality silicone hose products, stock them intelligently, and deliver them at the most competitive price anywhere. While other companies have lead times for their silicone products that can go out as far as 5 weeks, we make sure to carry up to 3 months stock for some of our products so that you can get your silicone tubes and hoses when YOU need them.

We have a lot of customers who purchase our silicone tubing for home brewing beer. Whether you're already in the home brewing scene or you're just getting your feet wet, you'll quickly learn why silicone tubing is an ideal medium for several reasons, especially when you're thanking it for saving your aching back from living that 5 gallons of liquid. Though we don’t think of it as a major tool in our home brewing, there are still plenty of factors that make silicon tubing the best choice for home brewing.

Ask several home brewers and you'll likely hear most of them tell you that their favorite tubing for transferring hot wort is silicone tubing. Too many brewers use vinyl tubing for transferring hot sparge water - which is not good! You should always use a tube rated for high temperatures like silicone. Silicone comes in many different sizes to meet your brewing needs and can handle temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

If you're ready to get serious about your home brewing, start with purchasing your silicone tubing through Flex Technologies.
