6mL in 1 gallon. Lasts about a month for me. If I was not careless and let crud and bugs get in there, it could last longer.
Maybe he tried to buy some today, and couldn't...maybe no there is an international starsan shortage....
People who waste starsan probably drive huge SUV's as well....
You mean I'm not allowed to saniteze the kitchen with it? SWMBO has huge fear of E-coli re-infecting daughter (once contracted, you do become more susceptible to future infections).
Ok, I'll stop killing the bathroom bugs after I fumigate in there.
Damn, life's just less without free use of Starsan!

OK, i have to ask. How much do you use to sanitize a carboy?

When star San gets cloudy that means the PH is off. Doesn't it have to be below a PH of 2 or something? I think if you add a little more Star San to the solution and check the PH you can keep a bucket of it indefinitely.
Make as much as you want. The waste comes in not using distilled water to make it and not re-using it.

Hey i dont drive an SUV, its a Mustang, thank you very much, but if it makes you feel better, i dont get better then 15mpg in it damn autobhan and your lack of speed limit making me drive too fast. :rockin:
Hmm... I can pay $1/bottle for distilled and make 2-3 gallons that'll last for maybe 6 months, OR I can make 2.5 gal each brew day and go through $10 of star-san in like 3 years instead of 10. I don't think I'd save any money by using the distilled water. Star-san isn't expensive enough to worry about saving it forever.
How much do you make when you rack, test a sample, make a starter?
The original premise is also in the "using too much".
I think that the big soak of the entire carboy breeds a false sense of security.
It leads one to perhaps be lax on the cleaning, thinking that a big soak will fix it.
It won't.
100 + batches and have never bought/borrowed/stolen or otherwise used starsan.
Marketing ploy and a waste of money.
Mild bleach water and a hot rinse for me. Old school.
Can't imagine spraying a chemical on my brewing equipment and not rinsing it off.
...I'm sure new "chemicals" have scared many an old codger throughout the industrial revolution, and well before, too...
