Hey all, I just have a few questions before I begin to make sure Im doing everything right. Maybe Im making this more complicated than it is, but I want to be sure. I purchased star-san santizer after reading good things about it. here are my questions:
1. So I after I clean the fermenting bucket and the tools I pour 1 oz of star-san in with 5 gal of water, let it foam and sit for a minute, then dump out. Is that it? That really sanitizes everything?
I read all of the health hazards on the star-san so i just want to make sure no residue or anything is left over that is harmful.
2. Once everything comes in contact with the sanitizer is it safe just to let it sit on the counter before I use it or will it become contaminated by the air? This would be for example the spoon to stir inside the fermenting bucket until I use it.
3. Do you guys use gloves when handling this stuff because its harmful?
Hopefully im not looking into this too mich and the questions are not ridiculous!
