So I just used my new Counter Flow Chiller for first time and it was wonderful. Brought my wort from boiling to 74degrees in 10mins.
Now I'm wondering about storing it. I usually only brew once a month or every other month so it will be sitting on the shelf for some time between uses.
The shop I got it from says to store it with iodophor solution in it, but I've heard from other people not to store any sanitizer or PBW in it cause it can cause pitting in the copper tube.
I don't have an air compressor to dry it out either.
I did run hot PBW and then straight hot water through it and drained it the best I could.
What's the best way now to store it now?
