Kegged on top of StarSan?

edgeofblade · Feb 10, 2011

I was watching one of CraigTube's videos on kegging, and I saw what I thought was the strangest things. He said there was still some StarSan foam in the bottom of the keg... and he filled right onto it.

Would that harm the beer, or do I not understand what "no-rinse" means?

Foam is fine. I do the same thing. No worries.

Don't Fear The Foam.

They really need to make t-shirts with this on it. :rockin:

StarSan is a no rinse sanitizer and it means what it says. You don’t' rinse it off. And what you see in the video is absolutely fine. Couple of times I've primed my racking cane with StarSan and just started the siphon. Did not hurt the brew one bit.

I do this all the time.

Starsan is only effective when it is acidic, the beer moves it out of the active range and makes it inert as soon as it mixes.

And it's flavorless.

Charlie Talley from 5 Star's talk on StarSan goes into this question in detail. Find the sticky thread here:

Listen to it when you get a chance. It's worth every minute.

I racked 10G of beer onto 2 gallons of starsan solution once. It was a very light blonde ale. It still tasted as good as the previous batches of the same recipes.
