I would like to know how you fellas clean the coils in your still and how often.

Rinse with clean water after each run, then allow to dry before storing away in a dry location to avoid any mold or mildew. No need to clean after each run other than above.

Do a vinegar cleaning run maybe once every 15 runs through the still.

Plus one. But I mite clean mine with a vinagar run every year or two. Usually only after mods or reworking it.

Now if you had the still puke on you. That's a different story. At that point you may need to do some good cleaning.

And the still will be sterilized every time you run the still. First from heat. Then from the fores coming through it. That you are going to toss out anyway.

I normally discard the fore shots. So i guess i rinse my coil with boiling hot moon shine. Lol

I have a high pressure washer thing hooked up to a hot water faucet in my goorage. I wash out my mashing equipment the same way. I also give everything a final rinse with starsan.

If ya never shut it down you never have to clean it . I just rinse mine with water and then do a steam run before the next likker run . That serves to set my flour paste , do initial leak check , and steam out any nasties that may have taken root while it was inactive .
