I have always wondered about this.. but never really found anything regarding it. I use a 25' X 3/8" copper IC to cool down my wort and i notice that the "ears" coming out seem to sweat on the outside from the steam/cold walter combination. I sanitize it by allowing it to rest in the wort the last 15-20 minutes of the boil so I know its sanitized but doesn anyone else have thoughts on this? i'm sure i cant be the only one who's questioned it?
It hasnt ruined anything yet.. and my cool down is anywhere from 10-17 minutes around this time of year with the ground water temps....
