Cleaning/Drying tubing

[natefrog255]

I use only 5/16" ID vinyl. Buy it by the roll. Use it once and toss it.

Probably the best way to make sure its clean, but over time seems like alot of extra cost. Unless you get a real good deal buying by the roll.

Just brewed my first Berliner weisse...should I get new tubing so as to not worry about lacto contamination? I figure it's so cheap...do it just to be safe

Bleach. It kills aids and c.diff. It can handle lacto

I just rinse with hot water and hang them draped over a hook in my brew storage room to drip dry. I can't believe how complicated some people make it, lol.

This is what I do. So long as there's no gross matter in it when it's hung up to dry, which it does very quickly in the absurdly dry climate of Denver, the sanitizing solution I put it in right before I use it will take care of everything else.

I decided to go with high temp food grade silicone, so i'll 'roast' it at 220 to dry and drop it in 200 degree water then star san prior to use...Im turning into a germ-o-phobe thanks to this hobby.

It only hurts once in a while.
