Getting close, just need to actually have enough time to give it a test run. Was supposed to be this arvo but can't afford to knock back the work.

I thought pvc pipe wasn't supposed to be used in food applications?
 
Its not suppose to be . The Yanks use a product called CPVC which is made for hot water . The standard here in OZ is only PVC . I was looked for CPVC alas no plumbing store carries it ( the ones I went to ) .
 
Any risk? Can use copper instead. Might need to find something else to support the false bottom.
 
I wouldn't use PVC pipe in a mash tun, suggest copper instead
 
I believe a household favourite is made out of polyvinyl chloride, cling wrap, I wouldn't worry about plasticizers in the wort, the toxin we are making is far more damaging to our health than that. :)
 
I was eyeing off the fire sprinkler SS braided hose at a refurb I'm working at and thinking that would go great in a big mashtun. A lot of it just got turfed too.

Keeping a close eye on the SS glass door fridge in the cafeteria too...
 
This thread is bad I'm looking at my 100L camping esky and think "hmmm I didnt mind 3V" worse still I've got the spare pots to do it. This could well end in divorce .... again .... for the 3rd time!!
