The thing I dread the most about brewing is the sanitization process. I spend about 4 hours running detergent, rinse, sanitizer solution, and then a final rinse through my 5-gallon HLT, 5-gallon mash tun, brew pot, and 7-gallon carboy, so that I can clean and sanitize all the tubing.
If you saw what I do, you'd probably laugh your tail off, but I can't think of a more efficient way to clean the tubing. For the buckets, sure I could just scrub it, rinse it, and sanitize it in no time, but how do I go about cleaning out my tubing? I know it gets nasty in those tubes.
I'd appreciate any suggestions regarding rapid sanitization processes that you more experienced brewers have discovered. Thanks!
