Hi guys ...

I don't have Star San Sanitizer so can I use Dettol to sterilize ???

<reads ingredient list...>

There's a lot of stuff in there I wouldn't want ending up in my beer.

nein! don't do it! hold out for some Star San or Star IO.

Yeah, you'd have to rinse that out so much, it wouldn't likely be all that sterile when you were done. Get some StarSan.

No! That is not a product intended for use with food products. Ingredients like pine oil, castor oil, and soap have no place on your brewing equipment. BTW you are not sterilizing even with the appropriate brewing products, you are sanitizing. The terms have different meanings.
