No Rinse Sanitizer

[Foonz]

Hey all,
I keep hearing about a no rinse sanitizer called star san. Is there anywhere in Melbourne you can get it preferably Bayswater area? Or is there something in Australia we can use instead?

Thank you!

Brewman, one of this site's sponsors, sells a locally made equivalent that's as good as or better than StarSan.

That’s what I thought but the guy at the local brew shop had no idea what I was talking about [emoji22]. We have a power sanitizer but you have to rise after and we were worried about cross contamination.

If you cant get what you are looking for by the weekend, just clean your bottles carefully and rinse them with some boiled and still hot water (let the jug cool for 5 minutes or so).
The Brewman Acid Sanitiser is a good option, but personally I would still rinse, not really a big fan of the whole no-rinse concept.

Thanks Mark! Hopefully our beer works out. I did a gravity test today and will do hopefully final one on Saturday before we bottle. Seems to have come out weak [emoji22]. 1.040 starting and currently 1.011 which is about 3.8% [emoji22].

Anpros Pty is in Bayswater, he sells no rinse santisers I get my proxitane from them. You have to be very careful not to touch any tender body parts if you get some on your hands.

If you want a no rinse which is a safer alternative which has a surfactant in it have a trip to KegKing and get some phosphoric sanitiser a lot cheaper and lasts longer. And just be careful with the proxitane.

Foonz this doesn't help much, but - if your LHBS has never heard of Starsan, well... 'nuff said.

Proxitane? I have almost finished a bottle of that exact sanitiser from kegking. It lasted me a year and a half. I was thinking of getting another bottle from kegland $5 and a bottle of the stellarSan $9.95. They were marked as instock yesterday
