So, my LBS has been out of stock of starsan for awhile with a new shipment coming in a "couple of weeks", and while i'm waiting around for an online delivery, a friend of mine offered up some 22 Multi-quat sanitizer - stuff they have been using for restaurant sanitization etc. I did some reading and it looks like it something I can use in the meanwhile and also in the longterm - heck, why not, its free!
I have used other forms of sanitizers - ie starsan/iodine/betadine/boiling/bleach, however, i've never used a quat-sanitzer before. From what i read, and from what the rep told me, i can use it to sanitize equipment, fermentors, bottles etc as its a food safe/no rinse sanitizer. Not sure how much different it would be than using starsan. I did specifically ask about any residue, effect on any liquid and was told that as long as I diluted properly, to not worry.
After a quick messenger chat, she gave me the fact sheet/quick info (attached) along with telling me alot of breweries use it- do take a look and tell me what you think. Is this something that any of you would consider using?
i was also looking into PAA (peracetic acid) as another sanitizer - not that theres anything wing with Starsan, its just been a pain to get lately for some reason - probably all the home brewers brewing up a storm during quarantine
Cheers
