I think I already know the answer, but I'll ask anyway. Did a stripping run today. When I emptied the pot, out tumbled the plastic hose (PVC - http://www.fpcusa.com/products/PVC/pdf/ ... PVC001.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow) I use to siphon out of the fermenter and into the pot. It must have slipped off the counter and into the pot before I sealed it shut, and I never noticed.
The hose was on the bottom, so was never exposed to vapor. It was, obviously, exposed to high heat, and has turned from clear to clouded in appearance. The distillate looks, tastes, and smells normal. Nothing cloudy, aside from the normal cloudiness of the deeper tails.
Thoughts? Do I just dump the lot?

Well I guess it's comforting that I'm not the first...
