This came up earlier, and apparently has been discussed on a Basic Brewing podcast, but it goes against what I thought about these two chemicals.
Is it safe and effective to use a solution of 5 gallons of water, 1 tablespoon bleach, and 1 tablespoon of vinegar as a no-rinse sanitizer? Does this somehow not produce some chlorine gas? Is it more effective than using bleach at the usual 1 tablespoon per gallon of water ratio? Is it more effective than StarSan at the proper dilution?
