Hi I use a pink powder sanitizer - I believe it is a chloride or chlorine powder which mixed one teaspoon to 1 liter of water. (The guy at the homebrew store said it was just like concentraited bleach?)
I guess my question is regarding sanitizing bottles - my current method is fill up my bottling bucket with my solution and dunk my botlles in the solution for a few mins and tripple rinse.
My first question is - do I really have to tripple rinse - can that solution be harmfull to the beer in trace ammounts - more importantly can it be harmful to me! Would a double rinse be fine? Secondly - if I purchase one of the bottle sprayers (vinerators are they called?) will the quick rinse with that sanitizer really sanitize it?
PS - my bottles are allready clean before I sanitize them - I always rinse them out with hot water and store them as soon as I pour a beer.
That sounds like diversol (it seems to be big up here). It's a combination of bleach and some sort of detergent. It needs about 20 minutes of contact time I believe in order to sanitize.
I used it at first because it's what my LHBS had, I always rinsed the bottles (once) after a 20 minute soak with hot water to be safe. It is definitely not a quick sanitizer like starsan (which I use now) so one of those bottle sprayers won't work for sanitizing.
