When I first got started (oh, that 1 batch ago! ), it seemed that starsan was a very popular sanitizing product, so that's what I grabbed off the shelf.
It seems to do the job but, after rinsing enough tubing and bottles, it seems to me that starsan is very foamy, and the bubbles can get caught in the tubing, bottleneck, carboy-neck, etc.
(NOTE: if it matters, we have extremely hard water; I use bottled for brewing.)
Anyway, I was curious if there's some sort of other sanitizer that's not quite so foamy. I've taken to using slightly-under the recommended amount, but I don't really like doing that and don't want to reduce the amount further and compromise sanitation.
Any hints/clues/tips for this n00b?
Thanks!
