Hi,
I have made extract beer before and am about to make my first all-grain beer. I have built a counter flow wort chiller and my question is, should I run anything (sanitizer, water, some other liquid) through the copper pipe before my wort? It is a brand new copper coil. I have read about how you shouldn't use chlorine sanitizer in it which is fine, but I can't find anything else conclusive, especially regarding the FIRST time you use it. Any thoughts? Cheers
