StarSan Question

[dgoldb1]

Is it bad for my skin or the StarSan if I stick my arm into the solution?

 

[Fletch78]

I did it last night. My skin is fine today.

 

[dgoldb1]

Does it ruin the ph if I stick my hand in it?

 

[devilishprune]

Only one way to find out...

I doubt it. I've sanitized batches with star san that has had way worse things done to it.

How long does it last in a spray bottle? Has anyone check the pH after a week, two weeks etc?

If you use distilled water to mix it with it will last a LONG time (months). If you use tap water it will depend on YOUR tap water.

It is drying to the skin but mixed it won't harm you.

An option is to use (Blichmann) brewing gloves; I find them handy to keep my skin away from PBW and I can always spray them with StarSan to make sure they're sanitary for whatever I may be doing during brew day.
