So, I've always used StarSan and then rinsed. With all the talk of soap-residue in your glass being able to kill head retention, and what with all of the warning labels on StarSan about burning your flesh and being poisonous when ingested, I figured that pouring 5 gallons of beer that I would eventually drink into a frothy cloud of StarSan bubbles just COULDN'T be wise.
And so I've never done it; I've always rinsed with plain tap water, and I've never had an infection as far as I know. I keep my kitchen clean using Lysol spray-sanitizers and my tap-water is good for brewing, and so I've never really worried about it. Ingesting acid is what worries me.
Anyone else rinse stuff out after using StarSan, or is it just me?
