Just wondered if anyone does this? I usually just run hot PBW through followed by a hot rinse. Does anyone sanitize either after or before using again? I figured by running hot wort through it for a few minutes will kill anything lurking in there.
 
Same here. I just clean them; everything that goes through them will be going into the boil, or coming out of the pump at near boiling temperatures when chilling.
 
Yeah I run PBW through my whole system after the brew session. I follow it by some hot water. I dont use my pump (as of yet) after the boil.
