I'm curious if there are alternatives to using vinyl tubing for racking and transferring that make sense for a homebrewer. Although vinyl tubing is inexpensive, I don't find it to be a great material to work with. It's difficult to dry, it's difficult to clean the inside, and it gets stuck on racking canes and airlocks. I don't always trust the sanitization of vinyl tubing and find myself discarding tubing after several uses which seems wasteful and not very environmentally friendly. What are your thoughts and suggestions?
