I'm almost ready to bottle my Festival Golden Stag and will obviously need to sanitise the bottles and caps, but also the siphon, tube and Little Bottler.
As I understand it, within a minute or two of spraying Starsan onto a surface, it evaporates off, hence no rinsing.
I'll have to immerse the siphon and tubes and as the tube in particular is fairly long, air doesn't easily reach the inside. We all know when we wash or rinse a piece of tubing, water droplets can be seen inside the tube for many days.
So, it is safe to immerse siphons and tubes in Starsan and then have beer flowing through them a few minutes later, or am I better off using a standard sanitiser that has to be rinsed for these items?
Thanks for any help.
