Is it okay to use NaDCC (Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate) for sanitizing carboys? Is it no rinse? It's a type of chlorine, and, apparently, people use it to disinfect drinking water, wells, to sterilize baby bottles etc. So it is food grade.
BUT it seems (after a quick google search) that almost no one uses it in the homebrewing community. Why is that?
Star San is very hard to get around here, and Iodophor is 5x more expensive.
(I have 56% NaDCC granules btw)
