New to Star San - Please give me warnings

[Rev2010]

Charlie Talley (I think) of Five Star explains about the slime due to the Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) at ~1:10:30 of this BN Session podcast. He says you should be able to break down the DBSA soap formed by soaking in PBW.

Thanks for the 2+ year old thread necrobump.

I make 5 gallons every 6 months or so with RO water. I store it in my SS kegs long term, no issues here at all.
It stays clear until it gets dirty due to repetitive use; I will push it through a filter every so often to keep it clean.
If you use hard water it will be cloudy, no getting around that.
It is an acid so don't mix it with an alkaline cleaner like bleach or ammonia.
