2008年12月3日 · I have made iodine sanitizing solutions before, using regular pharmacy iodine and water. The solution seemed to work fine, but it was really messy and much more hassle than it was worth. If I were you, I would use a mild bleach solution to sanitize and just make sure to rinse well with water.

2013年8月4日 · I found an article in BYO that defines iodophor as "solution consisting of elemental iodine that is complexed to a carrier such as PVP". In the wikipedia page of Povidone-iodine it states "Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) is a stable chemical complex of polyvinylpyrrolidone (povidone, PVP) and elemental iodine."

2006年4月27日 · I would empty the sanitizer out, re-sanitize the carboy, then proceed as you had planned. Strictly speaking your carboy is probably still sanitized, because nothings going to get in there with the spent solution filling it, but after three days an iodine sanitizer will have lost it's effectiveness, so you shouldn't use it to sanitize anything else.

2022年8月1日 · It is an iodine based no rinse sanitizer if mixed properly. It works good in a sanitizing rotation because it kills some bugs that starsan doesn’t. I’ve had this 16 oz bottle for ever and haven’t even used 1/4 of it yet. It says it’s 3.6% iodine and a no rinse solution is 1/4 tsp per gallon of water.

2013年2月18日 · so PPM is a measure of diluted parts per million, assuming pure iodine is 1 million ppm, .75% iodine would be about 7,500 parts per million. 7500/1000000 = 0.0075 (or 0.75%) to get down to 12.5ppm you would calculate 7,500 / 12.5 and it will give you the ratio of water to dilute the solution with.

2011年10月4日 · Anybody here use B.E.S.T, an iodine based sanitizer? I wanted to try Iodophore to sanitize before bottling - I use starsan for everything else. My LHBS does not carry iodophor. But they carry B.E.S.T. They claim that it is a no-rinse sanitizer but wanted to check your experience before I buy it. Not a lot of info about this on the web.

2013年11月19日 · This particular iodine requires a low ph. The fact that it is colorless indicates that it is ineffective. Another site about food safety said that iodine based sanitizers are easily assessed by their color. An effective solution will be amber. This tells me betadine or povidone iodine is not the ideal formulation for someone with alkaline water.

2009年1月22日 · This is the sanitizer info... Oxygen based cleanser/sanitizer so no rinsing is required. Great at removing stains from carboys and equipment. The ONLY cleaner/sanitizer you need for bottles, corks, caps and all your other equipment. 1 tablespoon per gallon of WARM water makes the solution. Then just wash and drain. Choose from an 8 oz jar or 5 ...

2011年9月27日 · Any iodine based sanitizer runs the risk of staining, BUT at the normal dillution it is a light straw color and that shouldn't stain too much. And if it does, so what. The staining (or even iodine odor on the plastic) rarely if ever affects the beer.

2008年1月7日 · Star San is a phosphoric acid based sanitizer. IO Star is an iodine based sanitizer designed to compete directly with Iodophor. Both are no-rinse when used at 1oz/5gal concentration. I assume that IO Star is like Iodophor in that the solution doesn't last very long, so it can't be stored like dilute Star San. Chad
