Well, I finally did it. I finally put Starsan in my beer. A lot of it too. I always fill a rubbermaid tub with 2.5 gallons of water and .5oz Starsan and use it to sanitize a lot of misc equipment instead of spraying it. Things like racking hoses, etc. Well, I had 15 minutes left in the boil so it was time to get this going. I filled up the tub and as I was squeezing the Starsan bottle to the 1/2 line the phone rang. I answered it and began talking, and while talking I walked over to the boil kettle and dumped the Starsan in! :smack::smack::smack::smack::smack:
Here are the stats:
Jamil's Flanders Red
7 gallons post boil
OG 1.055
.5oz Starsan
I tasted the wort and it definitely has a Starsan aftertaste, but after the yeast and bugs have had their turn I'm not sure I would be able to notice anything, and they may just use it for nutrients. What is your opinion? Should I run with it considering this is a beer that has to sit around for a year before it's ready?
