German Brewing

This weekend I will be taking my brewery apart, cleaning, and reconfiguring it with permanent but adaptable and easily changeable pex tubing, which I can buy at work for $3.10 per 20 foot stick, that's cheaper than hose from my lhbs. I change my hoses every 6 months for sanitary reasons.

Now that I have brewed in a few different ways, to see what works best for my system, I decided to set it up for recirculation and infusion mashes if desired by adding valves, this will also allow me to recirculate my mash tun/cooler only to set the grain bed during dough in, then open up the entire system to recirculate, as I am running a kettle rims system.

I have a few more items I am looking for, I still need a chest freezer or Keezer, a mill, and about 5 to 10 korny kegs.

That leaves me with one thing I have not tried yet, and that requires another burner, and kettle, I'm talking decoction mashing, I will try it a few times, unless I determine it a necessary process, then I would have to adapt my system with mash pumps etc... to stay low 02.

It is I confirmed it through work, it is uv protected pex.

It will withstand an hour at 255°f before it softens up,

Alterations are complete system is running perfectly no leaks my temperatures on both sensors which are located at the outlets of each kettle are within .2 degrees of each other

Are those brass pipe fittings? If so I think you should replace them with stainless steel because brass is quite reactive. It will leech copper at the very least, and some alloys even contain lead.

They are sharkbite fittings, plastic lined

They will be getting changed out a little at a time, I have the sharkbite tool to unlock them
