If you use/need campden tabs in your brewing water, do/should you also add it to your StarStan mix?

Valid question. I don't have have one of those hi-falutin ph testing gizzmos.no, wouldn't it f with the ph of starsan? which is the way it sanitizes?

I know that.No, campden is used to dechlorinate the water for the beer...not for cleaning.

Question is about if you need to dechlorinate the StarStan water.

Jeebus, I knew it was a dumb question but...hey man! i know it's a 'no rinse' sanitizer! but exactly how much are you not 'rinsing'?
Jeebus, I knew it was a dumb question but...
OK, my thinking is> No rinse, don't fear the foam, RIGHT?
The foam is water + StarSan, RIGHT?
My water has clorine in it,
see where I'm going with this?

Thanks @Sammy86 for the link, if I read that right the answer is that it's OK and not a bad idea. (?)

I think that's a pretty great question and one I never even thought of. I have never treated my cleaning or sanitizing water and I haven't noticed any issues but since I drink my tap water I'm probably desensitized to the flavor of my water. All that being said chlorine is fairly unstable and will be undetectable if you leave your water out overnight, I make a gallon of star san at a time and keep it around for about a month so it would only be an issue very fresh.
I was raised on well water so I'm a bit sensitive to chlorine.
I've heard the exact same thing, I don't remember if campden tablets take care of chloramine or if you have to filter it... I don't have chloramine or flouride here thankfully and the chlorine usage is very low too, I rarely smell/ taste it and I was raised on well water so I'm a bit sensitive to chlorine.
Good point. If it matters how dechlorinated the Star San is, you're probably doing it wrong. Not a dumb question, but I think that's a valid answer.hey man! i know it's a 'no rinse' sanitizer! but exactly how much are you not 'rinsing'?
Somebody's gunning for a job at Brulosophy!i just had a thought...to tell for your taste, buy 5 gallons of distilled water....rinse a bucket with tap water starsan, put the distilled water in it and report back on results?
