+2 on the Boog method. I usually soak mine in PBW or oxyclean overnight then pull the bottling brush through a few times.

+3 on the Bug method, though I just threw my old one out and bought a new one as the old one had simply gotten too discolored from sitting in the star-san.

How does everyone clean their blow off tube? Mine's filty.


I attached a wire coat hanger to a bottle brush. That way I can shove the bottle brush through, twist it and pull it out. I should wrap the end of the coat hanger around better with pliers though. I think the tip of the coat hanger is scratching the inside of the tube when I'm not careful.

No problems so far, though.

I let the Large Diameter Blow OFf Tube sit in Hot water for about 12 hours. I then take an old Dish rag, and I stuff it into the Tube. I then proceed to push the towel through the Blow Off Tube with a Wooden Dowel. 1 pass, maybe 2, and the tube is as clean as the day I bought it.
