Star San and PBW Tips and Tricks

About Star San

Star San is my homebrew sanitizer of choice.  When mixed properly, it’s food safe and no rinse.  Required contact time is five minutes.  It has worked very well for me for quite some time and I’m convinced that it’s one of the most economical solutions available if you’re using the “Spray Bottle Method” outlined here.



About PBW

Five Star Chemicals PBW – Powder Brewery Wash – is my go-to brewery cleaner. It is a non-hazardous buffered alkaline brewery cleaner and it… works great.

Five Star’s Craft Cleaning Chart shows Dosage, Temperature, Contact Time and whether or not rinsing is required for most Five Star Products and more. For some substances multiple temps and dosages are given for different activities.

It seems to be written with professional brewers in mind, but the information applies to homebrewers as well.
