good call. for reference, here is the document I was quoteing:
http://www.fivestarchemicals.com/wp-content/uploads/SanicleanTech1.pdf
under general use directions is where they specify a potable water rinse after use.
Saw that. But if you look at the recommended concentration it’s about twice what we usually use.
And the word from Five Star…
“When used properly saniclean is a no rinse final application. To test its effectiveness you can test the PH as long as it’s 3.5 or below it will do as it’s intended. When saniclean is used at a higher than recommended rate it will go over 200 PPM and that is when it needs to be rinsed with potable water.”
So, as long as it’s mixed properly, it’s no different than StarSan.
Thank you for your time and efforts, they are much appreciated!!
You’re very welcome…it’s what I do! I’m all about trying to make sure homebrewers have accurate info and myths get debunked.
I noticed that the bottle label (with the lower rate) says air dry, but local regulations may require a water rinse.
