I intend to buy my first star san bottle and start to sanitize my equipment with it. By now, I used bleach solution. With bleach I had a huge water consumption by one sanitizing cycle. I had to fill each bottle with water, I had to fill each bucket and carboy with water, and of course I had to thoroughly rinse them, which also consumed huge amounts of water....
I live in europe and it is very hard to get it shipped here from the USA... Anyway, I managed to arrange it with seller.
Now, as far as I understood, one 32 oz bottle makes 32*5=160 gallons of sanitizing solution....
Can I make a mixture of starsan with one gallon water and use it with vinator for bottle sanitation for a longer time/repeated sanitizing? For how long Star San is active after it has been diluted in water? How to store it?
I also thought of sanitizing my carboys by spraying star san solution inside from a spray bottle. Can I do it like this without filling it with water to the top?
thanks
I thought of keeping it in plastic bottles, is this ok?
