How much starsan for 1 gallon?

How much starsan should I use for 1 gallon, in teaspoons?

 

I'm pretty sure it is 5mL

 

Is that a little over a teaspoon?

 

Laziest. Post. Ever.

1oz per 5gal
= .2oz per 1gal
and 6 tsp = 1 oz
thus (6 tsp/oz * .2oz) = 1.2 tsp per gallon

 

6ml, pick up one of those little medicine syringes from the pharmacy.

Spoiler!! 1.2 tsp

 

Is that one of those rounded tsp or one with a flat bottom?

 

Please tell me you're kidding.

 

It calls for 1 oz into 5 gallons so I just mix up 1/4 of that at a time for ease of measurement. So I make up 1.25 gallons with 1/4 oz star san. I bought a small bottle of it when I first got started and now I get the big bottles (cheaper) and refill the small one since it has markings for smaller measurement than the big bottles do.

 

One capful equals 1.5 tsp. For simplicity, 1capful per gallon of water.

 

The real question is. Why do you need one gallon of starsan in the first place.

 

Why not? I typically mix up 1 gallon at a time.

 

If I'm just making starters or sanitizing a beer line or something, I'll mix a lot less than that.

 

After your answer... 6ml per gallon, I didn't know what else to add. I was trying to anticipate future questions. BTW in case it comes up I use 1.5ml per quart in a spray bottle. You will probably have to remove the needle because the juice is thick.

 

I just made up a quart for a starter today... 1.5 ml for a quart.
