So I am trying to stretch my star san as far as possible. How long after mixed and used will it keep if covered.
For instance, can I mix a 2 gallon batch for brew day equipment, pour left overs into my secondary (covered) until transfer, then transfer it from secondary to bottling bucket (cover), and store it there until bottling day.
Then (being greedy) can I trasnfer it from bottling bucket back to my clean primary fermenter and start over with it for next batch?
Or, alternatively, can I just make a batch that I store in a brew pail and use when ever I want?
