Well, I'm in the midst of making my first beer that required a blow-off (a wheat, no surprise there,) and will be racking it to a secondary for a fruit addition tomorrow. I am wondering one thing though- what to do with the gunked-up blowoff tubing? How many here clean and re-use it, and if so, what is the best method? Alternately, who just throws the mess away and buys new tubing each time? (granted, tubing isn't that expensive, but a penny saved blah blah blah.)
On a related note, I'm wondering if it will be ok to use the same blowoff tube that's on my primary on my secondary without cleaning, or if I need to at least clean the end (or clean the whole thing?) I'm using the bottom part of a 3-part airlock with 1/2" tubing pushed over it, and it looks pretty...brown.
Thanks everyone!
