Tubing is white after pbw soak

ziggityz · Apr 17, 2013

I soaked all my tubing in a pbw solution 1 tsp per gallon, for a couple days, after I pulled it out today, the clear siphon tubing now has a milky white tint. Is the tubing still safe to use, or should I just soak them in some clean water for a couple days to see if it turns back?

Run some Star San or vinegar through it. Usually clears it right up for me. Safe to use, but definitely try to get any residue off.

Did you thoroughly rinse? This is very important with pbw. I recently had this issue after not thoroughly rinsing, being in a hurry.

Yeah I'm kind of OCD about rinsing my brewing stuff, so I think I did a pretty good job
