I just got a shank and faucet, making the upgrade from picnic taps, one at a time.
The shank seems kind of oily on the threads. Do I need to sanitize the shank and faucet, or should they just be good to go? It seems like if I put the apparently oily shank into sanitizer, it would make the sanitizer all oily, too. But if I clean off the oil with some dish soap, will the shank then rust eventually? Or maybe I should run some sanitizer through the beer line/shank/faucet assembly rather than soak all in sanitizer?
Feeling like a noob...
