So I've recently "upgraded" to star San from one step. The main reasons being I like the idea if a liquid cleaner and I feel more confident with an FDA approved sanitizer with the ingredients and concentrations listed on the label.
The new issue I've encountered is whether or not it's truly a no rinse product, to include all the foam. I've read that acid sanitizers such as star San can impart an off flavor to beer. I certainly don't have the pallet to detect these flavors, but I've been giving a lot of beer away to friends recently. As such, I've been rinsing my vessels after star San treatment to avoid possible flavor taints.
What's your practice? Do you rinse or not rinse and why?
