Review on 🍷 Silicon CellarBrew: The Ultimate Silicone Brewing Winemaking Solution by Paul Andrews

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't look like 3/8 inch

Based on some comments I measured the pipe and it was the claimed 10 feet, the pipe has an odd dry feeling when touched like it has Dirt or something I can't explain properly, but when you drag it across the surface it picks up dirt very easily, not a smooth surface, so you may need to clean it thoroughly if you plan to use it with drinking liquids, on the in photos it looks like transparent silicone but on "man" it actually looks matte and the bending radius is not that good, it creases very easily, maybe it's normal, but this is the first time I use silicone based tubes, expects it to be softer and more pliable than acrylic or PBC. And last (not least) it doesn't look like a 3/8" inner diameter, it's very close but most likely around 10mm, have tried several 3/8" spikes (different brands), it fits always a little loose for my taste, if your b-system produces any pressure, i strongly recommend using nylon or metal clamps.

Pros
  • Hydraulics, Pneumatics & Plumbing
