How do you dry a 12' or longer hose? It is the beer line for my keggerator. I cleaned it and sanitized it and will not be hooked to the kegerator for a few weeks and would like to make sure that it is dry. How does one do that?
With a bath towel, that's how I dry my long hose.
I don't have one, but I've heard some folks on here have good results blowing them out with an air compressor.
I would leave starsan in it instead of trying to dry it.
I've had keg lines get moldy when filled with StarSan for several weeks.
Now I blow out as much liquid as possible after cleaning and store them in the refrigerator.

If you hang the hose (and if you take it outside and whirl it around, like I do with the shorter hoses), do you remove the connections at the ends? I think that that is part of the problem - with the quick connect for the keg, since it is sealed, it doesn't allow the water/air to flow out very well. I would hate to have to remove the connections and replace them. Sounds like an opportunity for leaks. I like the idea of leaving it wet with sanitizing solution in the refrigerator.
Did you use distilled water to make the Starsan?
I do, and have not had the same problem?
