I am thinking I should do a quick rinse between batches just to remove anysediment from the old mixing with the new....just to prevent any change intaste.

Is there a problem with doing a quick rinse with a "no rinse"cleaner, rinsing with water, slight disinfecting then filling?

This would all be done and the barrel refilled in a matter of minutes.

Or is this overkill?

Thanks all
 
No problem with a quick rinse to get any sediment/fines buildup out. I use tap water then a final rinse with some KMETA solution that then gets drained out well before refilling.
