I recently finished a bottle of Star San and opened a new 32oz bottle I had ordered a few months back. In the past I have had no issues storing Star San in a 5 gal bucket for 4 to 6 weeks. It always remained crystal clear and the PH stayed pretty stable per my PH meter readings.
The last few batches I have made have become cloudy overnight although the PH is still fine measuring around 2.5. Either something has changed in my city water supply or in this bottle of Star San.
I always store a 3 piece plastic wine thief and a 8" funnel in the bucket and I thought maybe the long term exposure to the acid solution had broken down the plastic and cause cloudiness. I got another bucket and made a fresh 5 gal batch storing nothing in it and it became cloudy overnight but PH reading stayed the same a fresh mix.
Anyone else see any differences in their Star San behavior recently?
