Here is an interesting NPR Science Friday program. 

Also some good links at the bottom.

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 
Warren, OH

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!
