I'm just getting started with yeast culturing and storage. I decided to get some glass pipettes as I was interested in being able to sterilize them in my pressure cooker. I am not a big fan of disposable equipment.
The tip of the pipettes are very tiny. Way too small for a tubing brush, a pin barely fits in there. What is the best practice for cleaning pipettes? I used one to put agar/wort in slants recently. The agar residue really stuck to the inside of that tip.
I swished water and PBW in it for a while then put it inverted in the pressure cooker. It is visually clean now, but I'm not certain this is best practice.
