The coils are tight, debris gets caught in the crevices. Really a pain in the ass to clean it. Spreading coils apart is out of the question.
Current process for cleaning it is:
• cleaning kettle at end of brew, about 6 gallons of Oxi solution.
• dunk the IC in it.
• length of soaking depends on my mood that day lol
• sponge it
• after that, I blast the IC with garden hose spray nozzle. High pressure but still, very awkward to hold IC with one hand and hose in the other. Makes a wet mess but that's just the nature of it.
• sometimes, I use the kettle rim to support the IC as I hose the IC down. Still pretty awkward.
My problem with this is that I wind up with dried debris on the coils come next brew day. Any tips are appreciated!
