  • Thanks for this vid dude I rins the shit outta of mine after so if you quick rinse like in your vid and your wine is good then i have nothing to worry about I'm so paranoid that i:m going to contaminate with this stuff plus if your nose smells it for awhile then you bottle thats all you smell. It is great for cleansing how do you feel about the no rinse?

  • @W4RD1N8ER I use mostly the no rinse these days. Star San and Iodifor. But I still use the Sodium meta stuff once in a while because it lasts for months in the bottle.

  • Do I have to dry my container before putting the brewing ingredients? My tap water contains chlorine and fluoride and I don't want this in my brew. Are clean towels or napkins safe to place the stirring rod onto? How long do items remain sanitized?

    Ian - Thanks, getting ready to prepare my first brew

  • @ianmullen If you can get your hands on a no-rinse sanitizer, like StarSan, you don't have to rinse it off and you can use bottled (R.O. or distilled) water to mix the starsan and it will be re usable for months.

  • I have a question do u have to throw the solution away after you use it? I've seen it on other videos i just want to make sure. Or can the sodium metabisulphite be re used? also what is your opinion on easy clean i think its called?

  • @AllahWhoakbar1 The sod-med can be re used over and over again. I'm not sure about the Easy Clean, as I've never used it. Star San is very good as long as your water is not too hard.

  • @CraigTube Yes I have aceptox the technical name for it. I have three different kinds i use sparklebrite for soaking sodium mteabisulfite for quick clean and aceptox for when i"m lazy and do not want to rinse. all are good i find the metabisulfite good due to smell its a good indicator that you have cleaned good but it will stay in your nose for awhile and can bugger your tastebuds when it comes to wine makes me paranoid that I have contaminated my wine. Just wait a day befor wine tasting.

  • @CraigTube craig does star san go bad i have a bottle 3 yrs old only been used twice shood i throw it out

  • what about using hot water from water tanks? aren't there bacterias floating around that are swimming in the old hot water tank?

    I've always wondered... kind of ruins the sanitizing process if i'm right, doesn't it?

    thanks for any input

  • Thanks for the video. Really helps when you have one of those large wash tubs.

  • Consciousness , Bliss, Existence!

  • Cool hookah bro
