I have a brass valve and a stainless mesh, as well as a new copper immersion chiller.

I'm guessing I need to clean it somehow before using it. Maybe some sort of water and distilled vinegar mixture? Oxyclean perhaps? Just regular unscented detergent?
 
As far as the stainless steel mesh, I let mine soak in hot soapy water for a while then ran it through the dishwasher for a first time clean.

Aside from that, I let them both (chiller and stainless mesh) sit in hot soapy water for a while then sanitize it before I use it, everytime...

Heh, sure. Here's what I bought:

So, total cost for the actual MLT was only $85. I was surprised I could make one for so little cost!

Here's the installed valve and screen.

It went together *very* easily. I'll find out how well it works this weekend.
