I guess I mixed the solution to stout, but I followed the directions of 1oz to 5gallons. Am I okay to still use this equipment? It was my 7 foot tubing for bottling and syphoning and my bottling bucket.:drunk:
 
Can you describe this staining? I've seen starsan make vinyl tubing a little cloudy, but nothing beyond that. If that's what you're seeing, I'd say your gear is perfectly fine to use.
 
No, Star San won't stain like iodine or iodophor. Perhaps something else caused it? Maybe you have Iodophor and not Star San?
 
It's star San but colored like iodine. I think I am okay, or hope because I made three batches yesterday.
