Recently finished aquiring all the fittings for my Stout tank system. After cleaning the system
I plan on leaving the tri clamps and gaskets attached to the kettles. Not figure tight but loose and tighten them before my next brew session. Is this ok to do? I will let the hoses dry first. If not, how do most of you store the gaskets. I am using silicone ones.
 
If they are dry then no problem at all. I store mine apart 100% just because I have to take it apart to clean and dry and I figure, why put it back together until I need it anyway. Then I know they are tight and ready to use since I put it together and tighten it all up at the same time. But its not going to hurt them if that's what your asking.

Cheers
Jay
