Chad - Look up Copper as a no no in the brewing application system. Bob

application. Go to the electrical supply/wire section of your local
hardware store and get a length of bare copper grounding wire (heavy
stuff about 3/16" in diameter). Run this through your soaker hose
and you can then bend it around to conform to any shape you want.
Think Gumby!
I would guess that the microbes would also benefit from the trace
amounts of copper that such a setup would make available. In my five
gallon setup, I have a copper elbow fitting tied to a piece of string
that I toss in the CT as it's brewing.
