STAR SAN is a blend of phosphoric acid and dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid. This synergistic blend provides a unique killing system that is unaffected by excessive organic soils. STAR SAN is also a selffoaming sanitizer. It can be applied through a foamer to produce self-adhering sanitizing foam for external sanitation. STAR SAN is also an excellent sanitizer for hand application. Sanitizing with STAR SAN on a daily basis will leave equipment in a acid condition that will eliminate water spotting. It is not recommended to use STAR SAN on soft metals because of the acid nature of this product.

Price: $16.00
Pros: * Industry standard
* Works as intended
* Can even remove paint from bottles
Cons: * Price is a little steep
* Degrades plastic over long periods of time
Recommended? Yes
Comments: Great product that works extremely well. I have found that it can even remove the painted on labels of breweries like Rogue and Stone!
It's not cheap but the stuff will last forever. The only downside is that if you choose to store some of it you should keep it in glass as I've heard it can degrade plastic if left in a container for an extended period of time (> 1 month).

Price: $7.99
Pros: easy to use, no rinse
Cons: hard to mix smaller batches less than one gallon
Recommended? Yes
Comments: Mix up a batch of star san and water in a plastic bucket to soak all your brewing equipment, and fill a spray bottle to spray everything down on brew day. Drop something on the floor? Wash off the debris and spray it with star san and you are back to brewing!

Price: $15.50
Pros: Works great as a sanitizer. Small amounts of excess suds are food safe and beneficial for yeast.
Cons: Container caps break if over-tightened.
Recommended? Yes
Comments: Works great as a sanitizer. Even gets the "wet-towel" smell out of laundry! No joke, I found that one by accident.

Price: $10.00
Pros: long lasting, easy to use
Cons: can't think of any
Recommended? Yes
Comments: For sanitation, once I discovered Star San, I won't use anything else. Its super easy, and lasts a while. For every 2 brew days (usually includes bottling a beer as well), i'll use about 5 gallons or so. I've always got a 5 gallon bucket of this stuff on hand. and a spray bottle.

Price: $11.00
Pros: Cheap, easy as hell to use, easy to store, lasts almost forever, safe
Cons: pshh
Recommended? Yes
Comments: Having this cleanser be a non rinse is one of the biggest advantages. It completely takes out the risk of recontamination by rinsing with tap water.
Some people complain of the bubbles, but really, those bubbles sanitize too, so really you can get away with using even less that way. And with proper storing and ph levels, this stuff can really last you a long, long time

HopCharlie's Reviews
|
Price: $23.00
Pros: Does not harm the yeast or flavor of the beer, it's non-corrosive, easy to use, powerful concentrate
Cons: none that I've encountered
Recommended? Yes
Comments: I've only been using Star San for a month now, but I swear by it. Makes sanitizing easy! I always have a small bowl of it at my brewing station to dip hands and tools into. And you can reuse it a few times before it loses it's strength.

Price: $15.00
Pros: easy, effective
Cons: none
Recommended? Yes
Comments: Star San is (IMO) the best sanitizer out there! It is easy to mix, use, and it's reusable as long as the pH stays in an acceptable range. It imparts no flavor to your brews and you can rack on top of a still-wet surface. It also does not stain your equipment like other products or leave potentially hazardous gases lingering as others can. In fact, I regularly rack on top of foam. I recommend this product to everyone!
