Before I ever used Starsan -- but after I'd decided I was going to make the switch once I used up the rest of my old sanitizer -- I was puzzled at how many people insisted on rinsing it, even though the instructions and the most knowledgeable people on HBT said otherwise. Well last week I picked up some Starsan, and brewed my first batch using it on Wednesday...
...Okay, yeah, that's disturbing. If I hadn't read all the exhortations on HBT, I absolutely positively would have rinsed the carboy. It's hard to believe that's not going to screw up my beer. It's awesome not having to rinse, but it's going to be a few batches I think before I trust it.
Gotta say, though, a spray bottle full of Starsan has got to be the most awesome thing EVAR!!!11!!!1
