Is food grade hose necessary for blow off?
« on: September 13, 2014, 10:39:22 am »
As the title says, I was curious of I need to worry about using food grade tubing for a fermenter blow off. I bought bulk hose at Lowes and it didn't indicate either way whether it was food grade.

Thanks for any info

Unless you're planning on drinking from the blowoff bucket, I wouldn't worry about it.
