Sanitizing Airation Stones...

[aekdbbop]

How do you do it?

 

[Brewtopia]

I boil mine for 15 minutes

 

[FlyingHorse]

I either boil it, or soak it in StarSan for a couple minutes.

 

[Brewer3401]

With tubing attached, I suck Iodophor through it until it and the entire piece of tubing is filled.

Left covered in Iodophor for at least 5 minutes.

Right before use, I attach to aquarium pump to displace Iodophor, then drop in whatever I am aerating.

Boil for 5 min, then into Iodophor to cool, flush with O2.

Drop into my sanitizing bucket and let sit for 20-30 minutes. Pull out and hang up to dry. All the solution will drip out over time. Hook up O2 blow it out and drop into fermenter.

Swish it around in star san for 30 seconds.

 

[aekdbbop]

when you boil it, do you keep the tubing on?

 

[ScubaSteve]

I just put mine in starsan for around 20 mins. Haven't had a problem yet!

 

[Brewtopia]

I boil the stone and soak the tube in Starsan for a few minutes. I don't think the tube would hold up to boiling temps.

I let the tube and stone sit in my StarSan solution while the wort is cooling. I turn it on for the last couple minutes in StarSan and watch the bubble mountain grow.
