Thanks everyone

Lesson learned, but agreed - just make more!

I had a three-piece air lock backflow into the fermenter once. Only a few ounces but I could definitely taste it and the beer ended up a bit hazy compared to previous bright versions. Now I only use S type air locks when I'm crashing.

I get that sometimes!

Well, after many hours of contemplation and tears, I have decided to let my sink enjoy the fruit of my spoils.  It is bittersweet; ZD clone, you will be missed.  You will be missed dearly, my unconsumed friend.  Cheers and tears.

Let all those who read this tremble, take heed!!! REMOVE THUS BLOW OFF TUBE before thy crash with coldness.  Be swift in one's actions to hide thy refractometer when thusly said wort morphs into the golden goodness of the glorious adult beverage of one said beer.  Join me and raise a glass, my friends. Shed a tear and move on to the next adventure, there is always another brew day upon the horizon.  Cheers!!

this is NOT a no rinse product according to the 5 Star website. I would NOT drink the beer.

I'm pretty sure that applies to undiluted StarSan or Saniclean.  When it's diluted to working strength it's a different story.

I suspect you are correct, but it also mentions elsewhere in the document that you should rinse with potable water AFTER using saniclean

[denny]

According to this http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/saniclean.html, no rinse is required at the concentration we use.  I'll see if I can find something more definitive.

ETA:  just emailed Five Star to ask them.  We can guess til we're blue in the face, but they know!

good call. for reference, here is the document I was quoteing:

http://www.fivestarchemicals.com/wp-content/uploads/SanicleanTech1.pdf

under general use directions is where they specify a potable water rinse after use.

Saw that.  But if you look at the recommended concentration it's about twice what we usually use.

And the word from Five Star.....

"When used properly saniclean is a no rinse final application.  To test its effectiveness you can test the PH as long as it’s 3.5 or below it will do as it’s intended.  When saniclean is used at a higher than recommended rate it will go over 200 PPM and that is when it needs to be rinsed with potable water."

So, as long as it's mixed properly, it's no different than StarSan.

You're very welcome...it's what I do!  I'm all about trying to make sure homebrewers have accurate info and myths get debunked.
