t500 internal column cleaning
hi all..
anyone got any tips on how to clean the inside of the column?
iv thought of a long bottle brush on the drill on a slow speed with reverse but whats the best thing to clean it with?
a bit of bleach maybe with it being stainless and then a swill with some hot citric acid to clean the copper.?
all ideas welcomed

Be a bit wary of hot citric acid. maybe still cleaner or steriliser and a demijohn type brush
I suspect that compared to the surface area of the saddles the SS column won't affect flavour to much ( just guessing)
Just soaking my saddles overnight in boots denture cleaner and copper ones in lemon juice then reassemble and steam tomorrow hopefully that should do the trick

Re: t500 internal column cleaning
I was looking at the sterident type stuff today but they all had a minty
Smell so I didn't get any.
I use citric often so I'm ok with that.
