Hi! Is there a proper way to clean a sanitize a Stainless oxigen stone who have a suspected pediococcus infection? i am worry to block the tiny pores of the stone with some kind of detergent
thanks!
I believe you are supposed to boil it and then store in a container with star san.
Yep, boil it for half an hour or so, let it cool for a few minutes and then drop it into a small glass jar filled with starsan to store.
I didn’t think you were supposed to store starsan in kegs because of stainless and acid. Surely storing the sinter stone in starsan amounts to the same thing?
Bought mine from Morebeer.com. Here’s what they say http://morebeer.com/view_product/18252//Diffusion_Stone_-_2_Micron_Oxygen_Stone
I don’t think there’s any problem storing an acid solution in stainless steel. The pH of cola after all is below 3 and that’s what was in these kegs in the first place.
This^^^^(Beer is also acidic as well, not as acidic as cola, but acidic none the less)
According to Charles Talley of 5 Star, no problems with Star San and Stainless Steel. SS in SS is OK.

I have never heard of any issues leaving Star San in a keg. Could you be confusing chlorine and Star San? I’ve seen chlorine eat holes in stainless. Just a thought.

Then I stand corrected. Good to know.
Acids are shipped in SS drums.
There’s really no need to store it in Star San - just boil it for 10 minutes before use.
+1 and make sure to clean it and sanitize it right after use.
