I often will get a white residue building up inside of my clear siphon tubing. Curiously, it doesn't seem to build up inside of my auto siphon at all, just the tube.
Initially, I thought it was beer stone, but after reading up on beer stone, I'm not fully convinced. This stuff seems more gooey than "stony" (if that's even a word) and doesn't want to come off with soaks in either 1-Step or StarSan.
I typically just replace the 6ft section of tubing every few months and haven't worried about it much, but lately I've started to wonder what the cause might be.
Any thoughts?
