Sanitizing method
« on: November 21, 2014, 09:44:18 am »
I use star san to sanitize my equipment and have always filled a bucket with sanitizer and let it soak.  I feel like I am wasting a ton of water doing that and am think of just spraying my fermenter with a star san solution from a spray bottle.

Do any of you do this and/or do any of you know if that method would be effective? 

Thanks

Spraying with starsan will work. You need to be sure the surface is wet for the recommended contact time.

I make my starsan with RO water and save it for months and months in a sealed bucket. Many of us do. No need to dump it down the drain every time.
