Do I have to replace the IOSTAR in my Blowoff container every day?

Do I have to replace the IOSTAR in my Blowoff container every day?

I've read the viability is only 24 hours or so? Iodine based product. Do I need to remix every day?

Thanks

No. You can add some bleach to it if you're really worried about it, but you'll be fine. Are you gonna leave it in there for all of fermentation or just until fermentation slows down?

I used star-San for the first 5 days, and then replaced the container with iostar once active bubbling was over (read that starsan has a 5day shelf life). I still want to keep it locked up with sanitizer but if I have to mix over and over, I'll just go for the star san

Word on the street is that StarSan will last for months.

If it's pushing krausen into the jar, I would say yes. If not, I wouldn't.
