Subject: PEX tubing for hot wort

Has anyone ever tried PEX tubing for moving hot wort? I'm looking at
options for connecting my kettle to my new Therminator.

The spec say it's good to 80 PSI at 200F. Of course, my tubing will be
slightly hotter and under only a "kettle-full" of pressure. I'm more
concerned about off-flavor pickup from the plastic.

Thanks in advance for the sage advice,

Dennis Lewis

Subject: Dixie Brewing Blackened Voodoo

Dixie Brewing's Blackened Voodoo was one of the first
American dark beer's that I found that I liked.  Then
they stopped making it (or at least stopped
distributing in Michigan).  Now its back!!  I saw a 6
pack the other day and picked it up, and now I'm
savoring one of my favorites.

Does anyone have a good recipe?  Starting point or
hints?  I wouldn't mind trying my hand at trying to
clone it.  All grain or extract, whatever works!

Thanks!
