HI Everyone,
I received home brew equipment as a present and I dont have any of the Star San on hand. Seems like everyone is fine using bleach which I have. As all new equipment, I'm guessing filling the bucket with a cap of bleach and let it sit for 20 minutes or less? Rinse thoroughly and drip dry should be suffice? I will be getting the Star San for the quick and ease so this will most likely be a one time.
The yeast is activated at room temperature so want to get going.
Thought I read that letting bleach mix sit in a plastic bucket is no good because it will leach into the plastic?
Also not good to let it sit in stainless steel as it will eat it.
