Homebrewers,
 
I have about as basic of a homebrewing setup as possible: burner, kettle, buckets, tubing.
 
Any tips on how to quickly dry out vinyl tubing after cleaning other than hanging them over the kitchen sink and annoying the crap out of your wife?
 
Thanks!
 
I swing mine over head like a cowboy, then lay it on a dark surface in the sun. Sometimes I even wear pants.
 
I just let mine hang, but I do it in the garage

Hey man, what you do on your own time is your thing.  :sign:
 
Thanks for all the tips.  Maybe I'll throw in some hooks down in the basement that I can dry them on.  
 
Mine just sit in the garage for a few days after I wash them out.

If you are using StarSan to sanitize, there is no need to dry. If you are using bleach, start using StarSan. You can make up a big batch of it and keep on using it until the pH falls out of whack. I also put some in a spray bottle. That way I don't have to make a huge amount and worry about buying more. I've had bottles last years.

I only use StarSan, best stuff on the market IMHO.  I just hate putting away wet equipment.  All is good though.

Oh, this is after cleaning? I just hang mine from the garage door rails, a fence, or shower curtain rod.
