New use for Star San

[Steelfball]

I heard that spraying a carved pumpkin inside and out with a cleaner with chlorine will help preserve your jack-o-lantern. Being a home brewer, i wondered how Star San sanitizer would work. So after carving our pumpkins, i sprayed my solution inside and out and it worked like a charm!!! The pumpkins are just now beginning to look semi dried out but there is NO mold, soft spots or visual decay even after 10 or so days.

Just thought i would share with my fellow beer lovers the good that our hobby does beyond intoxicating the masses!!!

The culprit behind the decay is microbes. Damn bacteria just want to turn everything into smelly, mushy, gunk. They are why we cant have anything nice!

I will have to try this next year!

After the star-san dries, wipe 'er down with some vaseline and it wont dry out either . I also use star-san for fresh fruits and vegetables, in a spray bottle
