Did you have a chance to read our last blog? If you did, then you already know that there are many disadvantages to using those clear, plastic tubes that are commonly found in home-brew kits. While those tubs are nice because they are affordable and you can clearly see the wort inside of them, you should know that they don't do well with high temperatures. Luckily, Flex Technologies Incorporated has a better option for you. We have a top-grade silicone hose for every need, and we even have many high temperature options that would be perfect for home brewing. The following is a list of the top benefits of utilizing silicone tubing for your home brew:

• Temperature resistance- Do you need to transfer your boiling hot wort? No problem! Our Silicone Heater Hoses can stand strong, even with incredibly hot temperatures. These have a temperature range of -65º all the way up to 350º! 
• Minimal kinks- A kinked hose can be a major annoyance while you are transferring your wort, but you will be glad to know that silicone hoses are fairly rigid, so you won't have to worry about kinks, but they are still flexible enough for you to use with ease. 
• Reduced risk of cross contamination- One of the most important things to avoid while brewing is cross-contamination. Silicone absorbs very little, so cross contamination isn't as much of a worry. 

Now that you know about the advantages of using silicone, it is time for you to upgrade your home brewing equipment like a pro! Shop with us today to get started.
