Cleaning, Sanitizing and… Sterilizing

The first step in sanitizing is cleaning. Cleaning and sanitizing are two separate steps. Cleaning physically removes dirt and large contaminants. After your item is physically clean it can be microscopically sanitized. Sanitization kills many (but not all) germs, bacteria and microorganisms on an already clean surface. I typically use a mixture of PBW for cleaning. Sanitizing and Sterilizing are different. Sterilizing is killing every living thing. In home brewing typically, we’re not interested in sterilizing, we’re only interested in sanitizing.

Regular Replacement:

I recommend regularly replacing non-glass bottles used to store acidic solutions like Star San.

Five Star Chemicals says that you should not soak items in Star San solution for extended periods of time. Even chemical resistant bottles are not impervious to damage caused by extended exposure to acid. Glass and stainless are exceptions. I can’t tell you an exact time frame, but personally, I’m now aiming to replace spray bottles every six months. See: Star San Tips and Tricks

Make Better Beer!

Hand crafting beer is a fun and rewarding hobby. The first rule of making better beer is to keep everything that touches the beer clean and sanitized. The Mark II Keg Washer helps to accomplish this task in an easy, efficient, and effective manner.

Save Time, Labor, Space and have fun!

The most labor-intensive and time-consuming task in brewing is cleanup. The Mark II Keg Washer allows you have all your containers and hoses clean by the time your brewing task is done.

Many home brewers set aside containers ?to be cleaned later.? This discourages getting started on the next batch.

The Mark II Keg Washer should be the first piece of equipment you set up and the last thing you put away on brew day or when you transfer your beer from one container to then next.

When transferring beer from one container to the next, we first use the Mark II Keg Washer to sanitize the container that the beer will be transferred to. Then we clean the container that the beer was transferred from.

Lesson Learned… Don’t Do This With Star San

Star San is my sanitizer of choice. It is effective, food safe and no-rinse. It is also very cost effective if you use the spray bottle method.

E.C. Kraus Star San, 8 oz.

Don’t Do this with Star San…

You probably already know this but, don’t… spill concentrated Star San solution on yourself. I normally wouldn’t take the time to state the obvious, but I did this recently and got a pretty good picture out of the incident…

Pictorial evidence of the aftermath. These are a pair of some of my favorite short’s Columbia Sportswear Voyager Cargo Shorts that I was wearing at the time. The white is a permanent feature. Obviously Star San and Nylon do not play well together. It’s almost like the Star San broke down the Nylon, or at the very least it bleached it white. I had these in the wash within 1 minute or so of the spill, still, they have become work shorts

My (cotton) Patagonia T-Shirt fared much better. It was left unscathed.

I also had to rinse my legs and arms after this incident. I was left physically unscathed except for one finger nail that had a bit of a burning feeling for a while.

Undiluted Star San is a relatively strong acid. This will serve as a reminder for me to be more careful with it.

Star San Tips & Tricks

Recommendation: Do Not Soak
