Hello all!
I was recently able to acquire a lengthy amount of copper tubing, for making my 1st IC & was cleaning the outside with little success. I have as of late read more efficient & effective methods for cleaning(vinegar solution, acid cleansers, PBW, etc)
In a good lot of places I wasn't having the best results with just using a soap/comet/water & a green scratch pad. Then I thought, sandpaper to get the thick deposits off. This worked, although it did make it have a slight abrasive appearance.
I also soldered 2 couplings for additional length, from what I've been reading in the forum, soldering shouldn't much bearing on contaminating the wort.
I'm just concerned about the sandpaper job that I did.
Did I shoot myself in the foot by sandpapering or will I be ok? Any thoughts?
