Alright guys, I have searched for a while to no avail to figure out the best process for checking the FG of my beew in a few weeks...
So, I just started my first ever batch yesterday, and was able to sanitize everything with the pack of One Step that came in the kit I purchased. In total it made about 4 gallons of sanitizer, at 1 tbsp to 1 Gallon.
I have 1 more small pack and a 1 lb tub that I purchased. And I was told that this stuff is no good once its been exposed to oxygen. So my question is: I need to take a gravity reading for a minimum of 3 days (assuming that the readings are all the same), will I need to use a whole new tub each time? Or can I get away with using the same pack to sanitize only my hydrometer for 3 days?
It just seems like a pretty big waste to have to use a whole pack for each day...
Any help is appreciated!
