I'm just curious as to whether anybody else here uses Iodophor over Star San. 

I know they both work well, but sometimes I feel like the last homebrewer on the planet who uses this product.

The "older" guys in the club here use iodophor. I'm always a bit surprised.

The club also has a raffle stocked by the LHBS during the monthly meetings. There is always iodophor in the pot and I am shocked how quickly folks choose it.

I use Iodophor once a year to kill any bugs that have become resistant to StarSan.  I don't know if that can even happen or if temporarily switching sanitizers is an appropriate safeguard.

Came with my first kit 20+ years ago and using it ever since. Never any problems so continue to use.

I started using it in the early 90's and have ever since.  One reason may be that I found a gallon that was discounted ($5.99 or $6.99) at a farm supply store in about '92 and just ran out a year or so ago.  A little goes a long way when used right!

Still have my first bottle of it from 7 years ago when I switched over to Star San.  You want it?

I didn't care for the smell or the staining of my hoses and equipment.

I use Iodophor to sanitize starter equipment because it's easier for me to measure small amounts of it than StarSan.

I don't like the idea of being entirely dependent on an acid-based sanitizer given that the most common brewery contaminants are acid-producing bacteria.

[chumley]

I use it occasionally as it is is cheaper than Star San. I use it for uses where I dispose the sanitizing solution after use, such as sanitizing the counterflow chiller.

But then again, I still use bleach.

I make 1-quart spray bottles of Star-San that come in really useful for this kind of thing.

I KNEW I bought that 3 pack of spray bottles for a reason. Thanks!

So do I, but for some reason I always pull out the Iodophor.  Dunno why.
