I usually use Idophor for sanitizing. Once diluted Idophor is only good for 24 to 48 hours.
I thought I would get some StarSan for general sanitizing as it is supposed to stay good longer.
I mixed up a gallon a couple of weeks ago. It is in a tub with a lid on, and I just toss in any plastics I want sanitized (airlocks, seals, plastic caps, etc). Unfortunately I have no way of telling how long it is good for, or if it is any good.
Anyone know how long it should stay viable as a sanitizer?
How do you monitor its viability?
