I've been reading about the length of time Star San stays effective, and the consensus seems to be as long the pH is low and the solution is clear, it's ok.
My problem is that when I mix up a batch, it goes cloudy within an hour or so. So I mix some up at the start of the brew day, or bottling day, and by the time I'm finished, it's cloudy. Presumably there's something in my tap water that's reacting, but is it enough to make the solution useless after this short a period of time?
I'm planning of getting pH test strips with my next order of goodies, but should I be worried in the meantime? And what if the pH is still appropriately low, but the solution is cloudy?
Cheers,
Dan
