I have a bottle of concentrated starsan and not sure how to best use it to sanitize my brewing stuff.
Up to this point if I want to sanitize my glass carboy, I just pour a small amount of starsan into the clean carboy, then add a few gallons of tap water from my hose and then shake it around. It creates lots of foam, which when I empty the carboy lots of foam is left behind. Even though it sats not to rinse woth water I always do because there is soo much foam in the carboy that I cant see how that will not do something to my beer.
Also whn I want to sanitize my racking cane, spoon, or rubber stoppers I put them all in a large like 20 gallon rubermaid tub and pour a little starsan in and add water to make sure the water level goes above everything.
Here is waht I am asking:
1. Am I using starsan as effeciently as I can. I feel like it takes awhile to do this and there must be a better way
2. What i the best method to sanitize a carboy and other home brew equipment using Starsan???
Thank you to anyone that can offer advice.
