I was thinking about picking up a used Therminator but the more I think about it I am wondering if I should be concerned about build up inside it since I don't know how it has been cared for. Is this something I should be concerned with or am I just paranoid? Am I going to see that there is a problem the first time I run water through it (ie junk coming out)? I have read a few threads on cleaning and emphasis is usually placed on keeping it clean to begin with. Is this something that should be bought new as to avoid possible beer contamination or will a good soak and flush keep me safe?
Thanks for any input.
