Don't mean to be critical but I think you're wasting drinking time by putting so much into sanitising.SpillsMostOfIt wrote:I rinse/scrub my fermenters in water, then soak them overnight in sodium percarbonate, then rinse (in boiled water), then spray them with Iodophor, then rinse (boiled water) again. I'm thinking of getting some neopink to alternate with the percarbonate to avoid breeding super-bacteria.
Ten points to whoever guesses my star sign...
The reality with homebrew is you don't want nasty yeast or infection. Boiling / very hot water will kill most of these. I've done about 35 brews with no sanitising chemicals and have had no problem.
(Get off the soap box - end of rant.)
