Yeah, well, I could easily spend a grand on HB stuff I 'need' without batting an eye, but that wouldn't be very responsible, would it? Mwa ha ha...
I did some price comps, and found that nobody offers free shipping for such a low total---but that, including shipping, Midwest had the best price. $11-something for 32 oz of Star San, and only like $4-something for shipping. Not too bad considering that the original 8oz bottle of star san I got from AHS cost like $9.
I'm just tired of my hands smelling of bleach. Ugh. That, and having to rinse everything like crazy. I'm thrifty as I can be with this hobby, but cutting corners by using bleach really sux. Unfortunately, with the first bottle of star san I had, I was not aware you could reuse it...so after each use, I'd dump it all. It didn't say anything on the packaging about reusing it, and I wasn't taking chances with sanitation. Now I know...I think these 32 ounces will last me quite awhile.
