Got my copper manifold that sits on lauter tun complete, debured as much as I could on the inside ( as far as my file could reach ). Is there any need to use any special cleaner on copper pipe to remove any factory residues / nasties?
I scrubbed the pipes with wash clothe / soap ( couldnt get inside ) and boiled in water. Is there anything further I must do to make the copper wort serviceable?
Lastly, im trying to find a serviceable washer for the drainer. Found one in the shed, but im not sure if it would leech flavors. Is a food grade / high resistant washer necessary? Second lastly, can coolers take the high temps of the wort without leeching aswell?
Thanks
