I reuse my 6 gallons of Star San over a couple months or several brews. I use it in my keg when I push Star San out when I do closed transfers. Between uses, I store it sealed in a 5 gallon bucket that I previously used for fermenting. Prepping for my next brew, when I removed this bucket lid, I noticed mold on the inside of the lid. Obviously, I dumped it. What can I do to prevent this?
Also, after brewing, I flush the tubing that I use for transfer, etc. with hot water. At times, since the inside of the tubes dry so slowly, I have seen mold develop inside these tubes also. How to prevent this?
Thanks for your comments!
