Drying out hoses

[Lars]

If you have an air compressor give them a little blow at about 150 PSI they will dry nicely in about 2 seconds. just don't tell your wife your in the garage blowing hose.

I actually wouldn't do this unless you have a dryer on your air compressor. Most air compressors will spit out some oil and water along with the air. There may only be a minute amount, but I wouldn't want it in my beer.

If you do this, be sure you have an air filter on the output o your tank or who knows what kind of shit you're blowing into your hose.

What about a compressor like this?

Says "oil free." Any way to test? Blow some air through a paper towel or something and look for greasy spots?

Even if you have an oil free compressor unless you live in the desert (maybe) humidity will compress with the air putting moisture into your tank which = rust and crap, it also puts moisture back into your hose. I live near Seattle and humidity is relatively high and an oil/water separator is a must and you will want a particulate filter to catch rust and crap.
