[@ryanpoulos8232]

One tip I personally have is you should put your water in first when titrating chemicals. Even if starsan is relatively harmless when mixed you should always try to prevent splashing back solutions when working with chemicals. Other than that I did get some info out of this. Thank you!

[@masonalt5012]

You should ONLY rinse it off if you aren't planning on using the equipment immediately and if that is the case you should be using something else.... It says right on the instructions "DO NOT RINSE".... This is because the StarSan is meant to be a protective shield against microbials in the short period that the equipment/container remains wet.

[@TheBloggeroftheBall]

Good show! I read somewhere that diluted Star San has a shelf life of 2-3 weeks. I don’t know if this is true, however I made a 5 gallon batch before reading that and will never come close to using that much in that amount of time. Guess I’ll have super sanitized kitchen and baths for a couple weeks.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Yes 2 to 3 weeks is correct. I make 2.5 gallon batch and disenfect fot a week or so the house.. lol. Thanks for commenting. 👍👍😁😁

[@NCReb69]

How long will it last once mixed, hours days weeks? Regards from NC

[@HowToDoneRight]

I'll keep it up to a month mixed. But you will get different opinions on that. That's just what i do. If your ph is below 3 it is still effective but i don't Get that technical because I'm constantly mixing new batch. 3 to 4 weeks is good once mixed

[@rvb880]

Is it necessary to sanitize the stock pot that you dissolve the sugar in ?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Probably not since heating it up. But better safe than sorry in my opinion. Great question.

[@user-fe3ob6bb4e]

How long can you keep the sanitizer in the bucket for? Can you leave it in there and re-use it to sanitize tools like your mixing paddle everyday during the primary fermentation stage for example? Or do you have to empty it and remix a new batch after every use?

[@HowToDoneRight]

Mixed sanitizer will last 1 to 2 weeks. You will see me put in squirt bottle to use.

[@maryalicethompson2399]

i love the fact to spray and leave a mist for extra sanitation but, is there a link to buy a lesser amount? any ideas for beginners to be efficient, but not having to sink soo money in the first batch? thanks:)

[@HowToDoneRight]

Get used wine bottles from bar or friends. Thats a huge savings. Buy used carboys at yard sales or online. This video will give you more tips and tricks. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5DRkpespriFa6c

[@kreynolds1123]

​@@HowToDoneRightThere may be a question to star san stability once diluted and exposed to light, or when tap water is used. Google star san stability for more info.

What is the red thing you were using to dry your bottles?

[@kennyd.5743]

I realize this video is old. But do you throw out the remaining sanitizer mixture after each wine making session or save it for the next session?

[@HowToDoneRight]

I discard but put some in squirt bottle.. mixed is only good for about 2 weeks.

[@ammerudgrenda]

I mix a small amount in a spray bottle. Last me for 2 weeks.

There may be a question reguarding Star san stability when diluted in light, and or when tap water is uses. Google star san stability.

[@mikef6220]

I will subscribe....one question, after making wine, I rinse everything with hot water and plan to sanitize with starsan and put equipment away. Then when I make wine again I will starsan everything first and make wine. Is this enough cleaning with the hot water rinse? What do you do? Thanks.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Oh yeah thst is fine.. you only need to use starsan when starting a batch.

[@catalhuyuk7]

How long can you store the mixed sanitizer product or do you have to mix a new batch every time?

[@HowToDoneRight]

It will last 7 to 10 days usually. I usually just mix small batches each time because as you sanitize equipment , water will get dirty. Great question👍👍

[@catalhuyuk7]

@@HowToDoneRight Thanks for responding so quickly. I’ve never made wine before but purchased all of the necessary equipment and have fruit, cider and jam on hand so want to get started.

What do you use to label your bottled wine & what do you use to remove labels when ready to reuse bottles?

[@HowToDoneRight]

I just use simple paper tags to label wine...amzn.to/3Of0mzx If I reuse bottles I leave the labels on.

[@fartsonbasketball9206]

My bottle doesn’t allow me to use the small measuring side. Air comes out of both tops when I squeeze the bottle. Even tried using my hand to cover it. Bottle came soaked in itself and I’m not sure how to properly measure without using the measuring side. Any ideas?

[@HowToDoneRight]

You only open 1 side. One lid has to remain tight for suction to squeeze liquid. Can't remember which side so try both ways.

[@fartsonbasketball9206]

@@HowToDoneRight yeah it still comes up borth sides. I even tried putting a cloth (extra thick to not eat the stuff) on one of the holes and tried blowing it up into the other side and it did NOTHING. P.s. thank you for your fast response :)

[@HowToDoneRight]

Must have a bad cap on that container. Id just measure by hand with Measuring spoon. Good luck

[@trivandrumganesh6218]

Their directions say every surface part must be in contact for 2 minutes. It is impossible to achieve that by swirling it. Only was is to completely submerge so it hits all surface parts. That would require a huge tank and lots of water.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Good point. But as long as liquid is touching everything you will be good. It will not evaporate that fast off surfaces. 👍👍

[@archael18]

Doesn't setting everything on an unsanitized towel undo your sanitization efforts? Probably best to leave everything soaking.

[@HowToDoneRight]

Not that fast.

[@kreynolds1123]

According to Star San's material safty data sheet (MSDS) says 50% of the product is "phosphoric acid 75% concentrate added to solution". I'm guessing which when further mixed to manufacture recommendation (1 ounce to 5 gallons) is probably about as safe as the food grade phosphoric acid that's added to Coca-Cola to make it tart tasting, but it still slowly erodes the enamle off our teath. The GHS-US classifies phosphoric acid as skin corrosive 1b which is fairly low. But, the MSDS also says 15% of star san is dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid. It is added to make star san foam, but the GHS-US classifications for this ingredient are: accute oral toxicity level 4, low 1a skin corrosion, and aquatic acute level 2. It seems this chemical isn't very stable and may break down from photolysys, minerals in tap water, and too high of ph. The very very very thin film of diluted star san is safe when used appropriately to sanitize equipment and left to dry. And while i'll drink a can of Coca-Cola, I would STRONGLY recomend NEVER drinking star san even if it is diluted to 1oz star san per 5 gallons of water. But that's just my opinion.

[@stevemelancon6207]

Don't fear the foam.

[@onenutwonder08]

i have never used this should he be wearing gloves

[@HowToDoneRight]

Yes you need to be careful with it in undiluted form.

[@lisareichow7667]

Newbie here! Love your work, thank you! Do you just use left over water to fill squirt bottles for using throughout the fermentation process or mix up a new batch? We are about to encounter berry season in the Midwest around June so I’m super excited to learn this hobby. I love visiting vineyards around Mn WI & can’t wait to start my own soon. Cheers 🍷

[@HowToDoneRight]

Welcome to the channel. As you watch other videos you will see I fill water bottles up first with sanitizer. It will last about 2 weeks. Once you have homemade wine you will never buy again. 👍👍😁😁🍷🍷

Not me. Never had issues.

[@Spoco]

Lol, was thinking that too. That and his red bottle racks…

Overreaction... I even sanitize my shoes

[@Logan-zi4vx]

While you’re at it, I’d always add your chemical to water, rather than adding water to your chemical.

[@Alan8895]

Handling sanitized equipment defeats the purpose of sanitizing.

Realllyyyyy??? Your hands are sanitized too. So Not true .

hands cannot be sanitized that is why we wear gloves@@HowToDoneRight
