Hello, I am new to homebrewing and new to this forum. I tried to do a search but came up with nothing so I am hoping you all can help me out. I have a Jockey Box with aluminum tubing in it (at least I assume it aluminum and will need to confirm its not SS when I get home tonight).
I went clean it and flushed the line with some cleaner and then lots of clean water. Now my question is how to get the residual water out of the line. I flushed CO2 through it and water spurted out but my concern is there is still water in there and I don't want to waste a whole tank of CO2 to get it out. I thought of taking out the coil and turning it upside down over night and it would drain naturally but when it took it out I noticed it does not have enough of a slant to let all water flow downward out of both sides of the coils. Next thought would be to heat it and let the water evaporate but I am a little worried that may weaken the aluminum over time so I have not tried that option.
