I know this has probably been covered, but....
I have always used VWP to sanitise my equipment (without problem!) but having read/seen so much about StarSan, I thought I'd give it a go.
I used it for the first time on my last brew on Friday. It was really odd putting beer into a container still containing bubbles - but I thought "Just go for it!".
I then poured the remaining StarSan into a bottling bucket for which I'm going to use tomorrow for my 2nd to last brew. I'm thinking of simply filling each bottle for a minute or two with the 2nd hand StarSan, emptying the bottles and then bottle up the beer (still feels odd not rinsing!!).
According to all the reports, StarSan stays 'fresh' for a while.
Before I ruin a batch for the sake of a squirt of StarSan - will this work?? Does anybody do something similar??
Can I keep the StarSan for a third use for when I bottle my latest brew in two weeks??
Many thanks
