We have some Goodyear Horizon hose for washdown and general spraying. This hose is rated for use up to 190F but is not food grade according to Goodyear. I'm reluctant to use it for things like transferring hot water from our HLT to MLT or hot water (180F) straight from our on demand water heaters to MLT.
The hose itself has a noticeable rubber smell after running hot water through it. I think the water does as well but others in our operation think it's fine.
I personally do not like the idea of using a non food grade hose for water that is used to make our beer. What are your thoughts? Am I overreacting?
