Hi guys,
I was wondering, how often do you guys clean your fittings, manifold/diptube, spigots, thermometers, sightglass? I know they don't have to be sanitized (with the possible exception of the BK spigot) but do they need to be cleaned often?
On that note, is it even necessary to sanitize the BK spigot? If, for the last few minutes of the boil, I drained the boiling wort into a measuring cup (carefully!) and poured it back in, wouldn't this sanitize both the tubing and the spigot? That would be pretty convenient, leaving just the fermentation buket, lid, airlock, and starter jar/lid.
Just a thought, I'm interested to see what you guys tend to do!
Cheers,
Jay
