Hi All,
So I am ready to brew my first ever batch in a country where alcohol is banned so home brewing supplies are a bit tricky to obtain.
Still, managed to source most equipment and ingredients. Planning to use a water 5 gallon water cooler bottle as a fermenter. Also managed to bring a recipe kit for wheat ale in my luggage. Only problem is that they took away my star san at the aiport .
The other alternative Iodophor is also hard to find here (though still trying)
So after a bit of research Ive narrowed down my options to these two alternatives.
-Bleach and Vinegar sanitizer
-Povidone-Iodone (Betadine) 10%
Would really like some input about which of these two would be a better to use as a sanitizer and the pros/cons of each. Also would there be a need to rinse both of these? And what concentrations to use.
Any other options i may have missed?
Thanks
