One method was to drop hot stones into the cask and then roll it around.

Up here you can buy bulk dairy sanitizer. They will even sell small 20ltr cubes of it.

Its good stuff.

None of that fancy Star-San stuff

 

[manticle]

Starsan is used as a dairy sanitiser. So is iodophor.
Fancy?
I have some in glenorchy which is about as fancy as haemorrhoids.

Starsan is used as a dairy sanitiser. S

But its not called Star-San

Sulphur candles.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

And they burnt witches

Only if they weighed the same as a duck.

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

I am Arthur, King of the Bwittans

 

[manticle]

King a' the 'oo?

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Arthur: Well we all are! We are all Britons! And I am your king.
Woman: I didn't know we 'ad a king! I thought we were autonomous collective.
Man: (mad) You're fooling yourself! We're living in a dictatorship! A
self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--
Woman: There you go, bringing class into it again...
Man: That's what it's all about! If only people would--
Arthur: Please, *please*, good people, I am in haste! WHO lives in that
castle?
Woman: No one lives there.

And the topic fled in disgrace...chuckling to itself.

Stu, at what sort of establishment does one engage in witty repartee to obtain dairy sanitiser? 20 litres? I'll sanitise myself!

Sulphur candles.

The Roman's used to use 'Roman Candles' which were later used as a great entertainment feature in 20th Century England on Bonfire night. They were a great crowd pleaser leading up to chucking Guy Fawkes on the pyre and setting him alight. Ahhhhhh! wonderful memories indeed.

Disclaimer:
I haven't any proof that the Romans actually used 'Roman Candles too sterilise stuff, but it seems a reasonable conclusion to make inside my little brain. :beerbang:

Holy crap. A lifetime of cleaner and sanitiser for $165.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Holy crap. A lifetime of cleaner and sanitiser for $165.

$6.60/Lt v $48/Lt for Star-San ( from Craftbrewer )

"$6.60/Lt v $48/Lt for Star-San ( from Craftbrewer )​"

A few things to note I think. 1 litre of starsan make 667 litres and it is re-usable! many many times. You know it works, you can test it easily (eg litmus paper), its tasteless, can be used dry or wet. Also I can buy a small size which lasts for ages without a huge outlay.

For me ll stick with easy as starsan.
Cheers
