How long starsan last

Use a hose with a liquid disconnect on each end, connecting to the OUT posts of each corny obviously. Hit the Star San keg with CO2 and open the pressure release valve on the destination keg.

This is also very handy for having Star San on tap at all times. Keep a hose with a picnic tap on it for dispensing Star San any time you need it.

This is no one-night stand! You can keep reusing Star San many times. One great way to keep reusing it is with my keg-sanitizing method. Stay squeaky clean and sanitary — your beer will thank you. As always, find what works for you…and brew great beer! Stumbled across the post and found it very helpful. Thanks for writing this!

We love how effective and simple this product is. Looks like a great place to learn something! I'd like to ask if there is a way to tell if a mixed batch of sanitizer is still good? Iodophor seems to loose it's color after a week or so. I am told that when the color goes, don't trust it.

What are your thoughts on this? Any tips for sanitizers in general? If you have pH strips, that's the best way to check Star San. It's effective as long as the pH stays below 3. If you use distilled water to dilute it I believe it will last longer. If you store Iodophor in an air-tight container it will keep indefinitely.

That's good to know about the PH test strips. I rarely test the pH of my Star San solutions. A Salute to Service. Our favorite sanitizer! Star San is an acid-based no-rinse sanitizer that is effective and easy to use.

Star San is safe for use on all surfaces, but use caution since it is an acid; contact with soft metals, rubber, and plastic should be kept to a minimum. Star San is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and will not harm septic systems.

Works well, no issues. I make a 5 gallon bucket and use it for a couple of weeks, as long as the ph stays below 3 it is good. I also use star san mix in a spray bottle, making it easy to apply quickly. All Rights Reserved. Shopping Cart Shopping Cart View cart. Beer Starter Kits.
