So I just finished racking my Belgian Tripel from my primary to my secondary. I took a swig of the sample that i used for my gravity reading and thought that somehow whiskey had gotten into my glass! I'm going to post several things that I noticed, and the advice that my homebrew guru/shop...

So, I'm getting worried that perhaps my valve on my primary fermenter is not getting as clean as it should be. Any advice for deep cleaning this piece of equipment? Also, is there an arguement for using regular water/sanitizer/vodka in the airlock? Thanks again to all who reply You make...
