I just got my shipment of 1/2" ID silicone tubing from MoreBeer

The other nice thing about silicone tubing is you can bake it in the oven at high temps if you have any sanitation issues, that should give Justin a woody. I do the about every 4th batch for the hell of it (just a minor gremaphobe)

Silicone is good up to 600F just toss it in the oven crank it up, go have a home brew relax let your brain rest and pull it in bout 30 min.

Uhhh... what happens if you use the tubing at over 150 f??? I am using it to siphon the wort out of my mash tun.... could this be causing the dizzy sensations I seem to notice after drinking a few homebrew?

Oh shit! I've been using Lowe's tubing and have noticed similar symptoms.
Lightheaded, giddy, and a strong desire to play naked twister...... I'm switching to silicone.
