what are some of your methods? directions say do not store away wet, sounds tough to get all the water out with all those small channels.
I can tell you how the brewpub where I worked did it: Back-flush with water, then recirculate with a sanitizing solution, and lock the liquid in place with 2 valves. When you use it the next time, flush with fresh water, and recirculate hot wort through it before turning on the water.
How I do it at home: Once I'm done using it, I flush with plenty of water (from my well). Then I leave it by the sink and hook up a 1/2" line to it, and every now and then when I walk by, I open the hot water tap to flush it out. When I use it the next time, I flush with fresh water, and recirculate hot wort through it before turning on the water.

Are you saying you store it wet? Would this not lead to mineral deposits and corrosion?
Very interesting...I never considered storing it wet! Would it be best to store it full of tap water, star san or pbw?

Corrosion?
On stainless steel?

On stainless steel?
So do most people just get as much water as they can out and then not worry about the rest that stays inside?
