Hello,
Ran out of Star San and I'm thinking about trying something different to save some $. I saw some old threads online of people making an Iodine solution to sanitize and claiming it is no-rinse if diluted to the proper amounts.
I had seen a number of products for the dairy industry but most seemed to have other ingredients as well that I want to avoid. This one linked below lists the only active ingredient as 1% iodine so I'm thinking a gallon of this would last me forever. The listed non-active ingredient is: Non-ionic surfactants which a quick google search shows are often used in dishwasher and laundry detergents. I'm thinking this product should work just fine for this purpose once diluted properly: Fleet Farm 1% Iodine
Any thoughts on that? What would be the ideal dilution for a 1% iodine mix?
