StarSan is a mix of acids. Not all tubing is going to be fully resistant to that, especially if you let it sit in it for a while. I always rinse any non-glass stuff before storing it.
I've used my tubing far longer than recommended. I clean/sanitize before and after use. Before I put tubing away I take it outside hold it in the center and whip in a circle as hard/fast as I can. this drives most of the fluid out the ends. I than hang them in an upside down U shape. They seem to dry well enough and have not yet grown anything funky.I might have that book. I don't think I ever brewed that though. I was planning to ask the questions you have been asking about Starsan. I might go back to hot water for sanitizing. If I knew how to store my tubing properly it would almost be unnecessary to sanitize. I stored them in Starsan and now they are milky and funky looking.

I wouldn't let that stop me from using Star San. Just store tubing dry and sanitize just before using. I leave mine hanging so it can dry out.If I knew how to store my tubing properly it would almost be unnecessary to sanitize. I stored them in Starsan and now they are milky and funky looking.
