Been reading some of John Palmers work on cleaning. He mentioned some things about cleaning cooper and asked have you ever noticed how clean and shiny your immersion cooler is when you take it out? Into your brew, cooper has been oxidized by the wort which is slightly acidic. From what I read some more, this could be a good thing, but how do you know how much of a good thing? How many of you clean your immersion cooler? I thought you could just rinse it off to get the dust off of it, then dunk in the wort for the remainding 10 minutes of so of the boil to sanitize it, and then hook it up to the water for it to cool. But, maybe I'm wrong.
