Stainless Braided Hoses

[humulus]

Has anyone used the 1/2inch flexi stainless braided hose to transfer boiling/near boiling wort???
Id want to use it between my kettle and counterflow chiller,at the moment its a ridgid connection and id like a flexi one so there is less stress on my kettle tap,just wondering if it you get any rubber taste from the internal hose??
cheers :beer:

would you say then that Mr Malty's Calc's for pitching Dry yeast is based on Re-hydrated?

For the price don't waste your time, get silicone and some hose clamps (if needed) and be done with it. There is a reason why people prefer to use silicone and at worst braided re-enforced vinyl hose.

If you want to use braid look for the teflon stuff much better. I would look at pirtek or earls for it.
