Star San Foaming Acid Sanitizer

Cleaning equipment is a repetitive, sometimes tiresome, chore that must be done several times for every batch of beer. Yet it is arguably the most important aspect of brewing; without sanitizing, it is impossible to make good beer. The sanitizers we sell are time-tested and trustworthy; we use these ourselves, for every batch we make.

*Star San

A food grade acid-based sanitizer. When used at the rate of 1 oz per 5 gallons of water, Star San is flavorless, odorless, and does not require rinsing. Best of all, it will sanitize with 1 to 2 minutes of contact. Star San tends to foam, which helps it to penetrate cracks and crevices; foaming can be minimized by adding Star San to a vessel after the water has been added, and by siphoning rather than pouring the solution. Star San works best as a soaking solution, but it can also be applied by hand (wear gloves) or with a spray bottle. It is safe for use on all surfaces, but use caution since it is an acid; contact with soft metals, rubber, and plastic should be kept to a minimum. A solution of Star San will remain effective for up to three to four weeks in a sealed container; it is effective as long as the pH is 3 or lower. Star San is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and will not harm septic systems. It's the favorite sanitizer among our employees!

*Saniclean

Saniclean is an acid-based sanitizer that is essentially the same as Star San, but without the foaming action. The contact time is longer than with Star San (2-3 minutes) and you need to use twice as much (2 oz. per 5 gallons). Use for spray bottles, circulation sanitizing with a pump, or other applications where lots of foam is undesirable.

*Cleaning Accessories

Brushes. Our beer bottle brush works on 12, 16, and 22 oz bottles, while the slightly larger wine bottle brush is best for 750 ml, 1 liter, and 1.5 liter wine or beer bottles. The large bristles of the gallon jug brush make it ideal for scrubbing out (you guessed it) one gallon jugs as well as large flasks. The carboy brush is 24" long and bent at a 90-degree angle to accommodate tough-to-reach carboy interiors. We also have a small airlock brush for cleaning fermentation locks, and a long dip tube brush for cleaning out the insides of keg dip tubes.
