Beer Sanitizing Question...

[tcb54]

Just to make certain: When bottling beer, should you rinse the bottles AFTER using the iodophor???

We did when we made beer.....

Been awhile.....we should do some more this coming winter....

Idophor is a no-rinse agent provided you mix it up correctly. I use 1ml per 1L of water. In that concentration, you do not need to rinse, and bottles sanitize in 20 seconds or less.

As Dean notes, Iodophor at 12.5ppm is no-rinse. Higher concentrations should be rinsed. If you want more info on it google for the Basic Brewing podcast with one of the people who makes iodophor.

Star-San is also a no rinse sanitizer.
