Hi Everyone,
I recently bought two new products for my homebrewing arsenal: Star San and a bottle rinser. I'm wondering, because Star San should be left for a minute in whatever is being sanitized, are a few sprays of the solution using the bottle rinser enough? I'm planning to experiment with all this for the first time next week on a new batch and don't want to ruin it.
Thanks,
Bart
 
If you are using starsan you don't need to rinse the bottles. Just dip/soak them in the starsan, dump them out and fill with beer.
 
Starsan requires a very short contact time to kill, in fact it is actually shorter than the FDA mandated contact time on the lable. And since it is a no rinse/wet contact sanitizer as long as the walls of the bottle, or whatever you are sanitizing are wet with the stuff, then it's doing it's job.

Yea, I heard the manufacturer talking about StarSan on Brewstrong, he said 30 seconds contact time will do it.
 
I primed my racking cane with Starsan the other day. This next keg will be the most sanitized keg I've ever had by far! Bartmannj, you're good to go.
