Hey guys,
Have been reading how most of you use homebrand napisan or sodium percarbonate for sanitising and thought it sounds like a fairly cheap option, especially compared to buying sodium metabisulphate...
I was wondering, cos I had a look at the no name brand napisan and it was only about 25% sodium percarbonate and had other things in it also, is this still ok to use?
Also, how does one sanitise with this stuff? Just make up a solution of how much napisan to how much water? And then once its touched the surfaces and dried up a bit do you need to rinse it off or not?
Ive been told by the guy at my home brew shop not to rinse off sodium met, and I havnt but more recently have discovered a slightly off taste to my beer which isnt infection... Has he put me down the wrong path?
Please help! P
