Tube was slightly too big to use on my 1/2” reaching cane. When I asked MoreWine about it, they suggested a hose clamp, which only barely helped. Could be a manufacturer’s issue, but either way this product was useless.
I have no doubt the tubing is /was good but the 10' section I bought was twisted in 3 spots so badly it creased and weakened the tubing. I had to cut it and use it for small runs. A waste of money for that particular product for that purchase. Everything else I have bought came in fine and/or tasted good!
I use this stuff all the time to transfer from primary -> secondary -> keg. I really like that it's nice and clear. Warning, don't clean it with bleach or it'll get all hazy.
I just use this to transfer cooled wort from my kettle to my fermenter and then from the fermenter to a keg. It's very affordable and I don't use much so I'm able to replace it at least once or twice a year.
What can I say this tubing does it all. I use it to transfer water from my boil kettle to mash tun, mash tun to boil kettle, kettle to wort chiller, and kettle to fermenter. Also makes a great blow off tube for the primary. No issues with collapsing all round great tubing.
the hose works great for many applications you may want to use it for, all I do is give it a hot bath when I receive it with some star san and it ready for use.
When attached to my racking cane, this tubing sometimes has a tendency to fold over on itself limiting the flow. Works well when I pay attention to not let the weight of beer in tube cause this issue.
It tubing and it's cheap. That is good enough for me. The only thing I use this for is a blowoff so can't really say one way or the other whether or not it gives off a plastic taste. It serves the purpose I gave it very well.
I've used this hose for a year now and no yellowing or stiffening yet. Try not to let any gunk accumulate inside, it's tough to clean. Easiest way I've found to clean it is to make a solution of water and washing soda (Sodium Carbonate), then use a small aquarium pump to push the solution through the tubing till it's clean. Leave it pumping as long as necessary. Increase the washing soda concentration as necessary.
This tubing fits 3/8id tubing right inside; I create lots of tubing fixtures with it by connecting tubes together. Not to mention racking, bottling, transfers...get a couple dozen feet, you never know when it will be useful.
This is the best tubing I have ever used. I originally bought it just to move hot water from my kettle to my HLT. But since I started using this tubing, I found that my life has changed for the better.
Little old ladies are now helping me cross the street. My boss' boss stopped me in the hallway and told me I was looking more like promotion material every day.
I've procrastinated less and made more, better beer since I bought this tubing. My wife has moved back into my house, my dog came back to life, and BoA sent me a notice saying they had made a mistake and they are not going to foreclose.
Turns out, I don't need a valve job on my pick up.
When I put on Pandora, my favorite musician is always on.
My yeast starters always start, and my cold breaks always break.
This tubing is amazing. I hear that Sierra Nevada has an opening for a braumeister and I am on the top of the list. Thanks tubing.
Maybe there's no god of tubes, but all I ever learned from rubes is how to out ferment someone that lubed ya.
Yep. Tubing is where it is at. Matter of fact, Fee Waybill told me the Tubes are the be all and the end all.
It might be more expensive than the hardware store or wherever else, but I feel much better buying it from the guys who know about what I am using it for.
