Five Star Star San Brewing Sanitizer, 16 Ounce No-Rinse High-Foaming Formula

Five Star Star San is a 16-ounce high-foaming acid-anionic sanitizer for brewing equipment, with a 30-second contact time and a no-rinse formula.

• Foams with little agitation — helps reach cracks and crevices in brewing equipment.
• No-rinse formula — requires 30 seconds of contact time.
• Stainless steel use — at certain concentrations, drying on stainless steel passivates and protects equipment.
• Dual-neck bottle with built-in measurements — makes dosing convenient.
• Made for a range of brewing surfaces — including carboys, kegs, fermentors, kettles, brewing systems, chillers and heat exchangers.

Star San is made for brewers who want a sanitizer suited to the equipment used to make beer, wine, cider or spirits. Its high-foaming formula is designed to reach areas that can be harder to access with a low-foam sanitizer, while the no-rinse format makes it practical for sanitizing brewing equipment. Five Star Chemicals provides cleaning, sanitizing and lubricant chemicals, and has focused on these products since 1980. Its formulations are made for different types of brewing equipment while maintaining the integrity of the surface.

How does Star San’s foam work on brewing equipment?

The sanitizer produces foam with little agitation, helping it penetrate cracks and crevices in equipment. That makes the foaming action useful when sanitizing brewing gear with hard-to-reach areas. Many craft brewers choose Star San as a brewing sanitizer.

Does Star San need to be rinsed off?
