Iodophor works really well on stainless equipment. I spray my unitank down with BTF before starting my brew day, and then spray Star San right before transfer, as you mentioned. That method works well for me. Good vid
I use my iodine solution in my utility tub which allows me to sanitize my equipment and the stain is in the same tub that I clean my paint brushes and other larger items…what little stain appears on my food grade buckets is not a problem. Thanks for the video! Great job!
You are always supposed to add acid to water not the other way around... Not that that’s the reason Star-San foams but it does solve the foaming issue if you add it after the water and mix it generally...
Have you ever tried Sani Brew / Diversol? It is a pink powder (Chlorinated). It is what they had at my local home brew shop and requires to rinse the bottle with warm water to remove chlorine smell.

I haven't heard of it. I'll have to look it up and see if it's available at my LHBS. Thanks!
Hi,
Will the Iodophor harm my secondary fermentation (yeast) after bottling the beer, please reply. Thanks
No, just drain and you'll be good for secondary or bottle. I soak my bottles then drain and the yeast still creates carbonation.
Joshua Garcia Thanks for the quick response 👍🏼 BTW, I’m your 4th subscriber 😊
