Nightside Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I recently got a bottling bucket with hose and bottle filler made for beer and wine. It worked fine initially but I had left a small amount of vodka in the hose and filler. After about a week I drained in out and it was apparent the vodka (40 proof) ate away the hose and or filler because the product coming out tasted of plastic chemicals horrible. My question is "what material hose is considered chemical tolerant?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightside Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Thank you. I see a lot of chemical tolerant hose but nobody says what it's product name really is. I need bottling hose I can count on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Haas Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 There are a number of materials that are alcohol tolerant. For any hose, find out the exact material it is made of then check it vs. ethanol on a chemical compatibility chart. Here is a good one: http://www.coleparmer.com/Chemical-Resistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
