I was wondering if it was in any way problematic to save an Iodaphor/water solution for a week or two in a food grade fermentation bucket or glass carboy. I have a batch of brew that i am about to need to bottle, and i was thinking about getting another food grade bucket, in which case i would need to clean it, and i will also need to clean all of my bottles.
Does the solution loose its ability to sanitize after it has been mixed with water for a week or two, or is it in any way harmful to a food grade bucket (that i use for fermentation/bottling) when left in it for a week or two (or longer).
The reason i ask is because i only have a small bottle of iodaphor left and i am a cheap ass college student who would spend money on another bucket, some extract and grain, and possibly a small chest freezer/fridge.
thanks
