The bucket sounds good I'm not very good at making anything like that. I have been using easy clean. Wine shop didn't have it thus time I bought 1 step. But now that I'm reading I'm beginning to wonder if either of the two is enough. Read about star san. Am I ok using 1 step or easy clean. I haven't had any problems with easy clean except some doesn't like to desolve.
Dumb question so I can use campton tab for sanitizing my bottles and equiptment?
Why not just use meta bisulfite ? its cheap - works great - no rinse
I use the vinator bottle washer and starsan. Thirty-six bottles in 5 minutes. No rinsing required. The vinator can be bought for around $20.
Can the Starsan solution (I'm assuming you make a solution) you use one day be saved and reused effectively a month or two later?
Yes. I was told as long as it foams, it is good. I store 1/2 gallon (mixed) in a 1 gallon bottle (because of the foam). I reuse it for about a month or two, and then mix a fresh 1/2 gallon.
Can a Starsan solution be used as a spritz from a spray bottle to sanitize bottles and other equipment?
Yes.
8 ounce bottle of Star San costs $10. Use 1 ounce per 5 gallons. At that rate, the $10 bottle of StarSan will last me years.
FYI: Metabisulfite primarily sanitizes by SO2 gas. That is fine for bottles and carboys. But, if you are sanitizing spoons, hydrometer, and such, I wonder how well it works. Thus my preference for Star San. Star San is a contact santizier.
