I'm a few days away from bottling my beer and I need to clean my siphon hose in order to transfer my brew from the fermenter to the bottles in a sanitary fashion. What is the best way to clean the siphon hose?
I do the same. Place it all in the bucket, 1 pump to fill up the hose then let sit.malkore said:I echo what evandude said. cleaning is one step...the first step...then you sanitize before it comes in contact with the beer/wort.
I use my auto-siphon to start a siphon from my sanitizing bucket back into itself, so the sanitizer can contact the hose walls and remove any bugs.
+1 for star-san as a sanitizer...its the bomb.
I just ran sanitizing solution through my new siphon and tubing. There are still tiny droplets in the tubing......Do I need to worry about those? Will it effect the taste? If so, How do I clean it out, I've heard not to use water (don't rinse)
Holy Thread Resurrection!
If it's Star San, then it is fine. Leave it. It won't hurt anything.
It shows he was searching for an answer and rather than starting a new thread he posted in here. Props to him.
