[Sca-cooks] food-grade water hose?

[Nick Sasso]

It should be a very simple, though possible a little expensive venture
to make some hose.  Go to your local home improvement center and price a
box of vinyl tubing . . . the clear kind that is used for water, and
then go to the plumbing fixtures and get a barbed hose fitting (barbed
on one end the diameter of your tubing and hose fitting on the other).
A couple of hose clamps, and you are in business.  150 of vinyl tubing
could be pricey unless you negotiate a deal and wave the not for profit
flag at them a little.  The garden section may also have a rapid
attaching hose fitting for you tubing.

Try Aquarium shops.  They have a wide range of food-grade tubing
('cause
Fish like their water clean).  As a brewer, I find them invaluable.
