The siphon that came with my brew-kit is kind of a joke. I wanted to go buy an outo siphon but I really didn't feel like driving all the way to the brew-store. So I went to my local hardware and bought a standard self prime siphon from them. I know when looking into putting my own brew parts together for buckets it called for "food grade plastic". Now im willing to bet that this plastic and rubber siphon is not "food grade" but I cleaned the hell out of it, and hopefully it will be fine. I was curoius if any one else had done anything like this as well? By the time I get any response to this, it will have either had no affect on my beer, or ruined it?
Fire away.
