8/11/2009 -- Can I also use the sanitizer for sterilizing my RV's water system instead of clorox (and the taste and smell)

1/26/2008 -- I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?

5/2/2005 -- What is the difference between sanitizing and Cleaning?

3/7/2005 -- What are your thoughts on using bleach to sanitize things???

12/12/2004 -- Is One-Step, or ANY sanitizers, safe for septic systems?? My local brew supplier hasn't been stocking One Step for a while, and I've been forced to use StarSan. I'm horrified that I'll have a septic problem!!

9/22/2004 -- Okay, do you have to be able to perform magic in order to get the inside of a siphon hose dry? I know that if you don't keep your siphon hose clean it is the most likely to develop bacteria. Which in turn can do your body some damage, what my friends and I like to call, "screaming Apache butt piss." I clean my siphon hose exceptionally well, probably cleaner then most people would. Only one problem! . . .

9/14/2004 -- We've been using 1-step as a sanitizer for about 8 years and it seems to work absolutely great. We were told that after you expose the inside of a bottle or carboy to it, for 2 minutes, that the surface stays sanitized for 2 hours. Is that true? Do we need 2 full minutes of contact?

You have stated contradictory information... <<<9/8/2003 -- Is this stuff the same as Oxywash detergent? How effective is this sanitizer after the water is discolored a bit? Response From Homebrew Heaven: Not . . .

3/4/2004 -- Regarding cleaning bottles: is using a bottle washer a replacement for a bottle brush? We have been rinsing (after inital pour), soaking, scrubbing then sanitizing before bottling. Can we just bottle wash, sanitize then bottle?? Thanks for answering you've got a great supply website.

12/1/2003 -- Hello, Just getting back into it after a few years off. In any case I find being sanitary the largest pain in the arse during the process. I am so consumed about sanitation it bugs me. So I have the following questions. After sanitizing my equipment, like the funnel, siphon hoses, fermenter etc, how long can they sit in the open air before they are considered at risk again? Mind you i keep all bottles . . .

11/19/2003 -- After a long hiatus (about 10 years), I am returning to the homebrewing world. Is it a good idea to replace my plastic equipment (fermenters, tubing, etc.) or will a good dose of sanitizer bring it back into safe, usable condition?
