2/19/2009 -- I've got a 10-gallon stainless steel pot that whas been used for food preparation. Is there a good way to clean this pot adequately so that it could be used as a brew pot? Thanks!

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?

9/17/2007 -- I was wondering whether you offer containers of Star San larger than 8 oz. I can definitely order more than one but it makes sense to get it in bulk.

3/19/2007 -- with star san,can you mix a small batch,1 gallon or so,and use it three days in a row,ie...taking grav readings 3 days in a row to see if ready for bottling. it's a pain to have to mix it up each day to sterilize your beer thief, and seems kinda wasteful.

11/9/2005 -- in your FAQ about STAR SAN in one place you say it is safe for septic systems and in another you say it is not.you also say it will burn skin. my experience is that I sanitize my bottles in the sink with STAR SAN and have had no discomfort to my hands. thanks, Will.

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! . . .

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.

12/9/2003 -- Is Star San and their PBW product safe for "septic" systems for us brewers who happen to live out in the sticks and do not have hook ups to city folks' sewer systems?

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?
