StarSan Bottle Measuring Thing

[jeff_brew]

Feel like an idiot here, but how do you use the little measuring chamber on the StarSan bottle? On the right in the photo.

I'm tilting it, unscrewing caps and I can't figure it out.

TIA

Thank goodness I was not the only one. Amazingly easy once you know how. Thanks for asking the question.

The only thing I DON'T like about the StarSan bottle is that once you get about half empty, from there on out you gotta squeeze the HOLY-HELL out of it to fill the chamber.

I never had that problem. I keep the lid on the container side of the bottle tight and then loosen the lid on the chamber side so air can get out - give a little squeeze and the StarSan goes shooting up the little tube to fill the chamber even when the bottle is nearly empty.

I can't see this method being very accurate.

For a 5 gallon batch, I measure using a (clear) 35mm film cannister. Exactly 1 oz.

For smaller amounts I have pretty precise 10ml and 50ml (glass) graduates.
