Sanitizing bottles with Starsan

[edb]

I make a big tub of starsan and submerge the bottles and let them soak for a few minutes. Then I dump about half of the starsan out, shake the remainder in the bottle, then dump out. Then the bottles go on my bottling cart. Same thing for the next dozen or so. Once I get enough bottles I give them another quick squirt or starsan and then dump that out right before filling.

Thats pretty wasteful.

Thats pretty wasteful.

My guess is that it gets dumped back into the bucket. No waste there.

Starsan is amazing stuff! You can use it in many ways some are tedious, some are quick and simple. The main thing is thoroughly soak for a minute or more and fill before it dries and you should have no problems. As long as the pH stays below 3.0 it is still good, even if cloudy. So keep it and use it.

I also use starsan on my cutting board... makes a good general purpose sanitizer...

Bingo. Also gets used for the bottling bucket and the rest of the equipment for bottling day.

Ah good to hear that your not dumping it down the drain. Excellent!
