So, when using a quick carb lid, I like to let the whole lid, tube, and stone sit in a bucket of star san before and after carb (before storing in my beer fridge drawer.) Twice now I've found the tubing split when I have left it in the starsan. This was an amazon product and said it had silicone tubing (seemed to be) and I've replaced the tubing with normal PVC liquid line at this point. Has anyone else experienced this? I could literally pull the silicone tubing apart with my hands it was so deteriorated. I use silicone tubing in my nitro RC hobby as fuel line so this really surprised me that methanol + notromethane + caster oil was fine in silicone tubing, but starsan was destroying it, multiple times.
As a follow-up, any reason using PVC liquid line for the carb stone would be bad? The beer sits in these lines all the time so I figured it was fine to use for the carb stone. Also allowed me to put the quick carb stone down low to reverse flow starsan through the stone up through the carb disconnect to sanitize before use.
