Hi all,
I am looking for some advice on passivating my new stainless fv.
Does anyone know the correct volumes required for the starsan and water? Do I fill right to the top of the fermenter?, Or just add a 24L mix? Or fill half way and keep moving the mix around the edges of the fv to keep it all wetted?
The manual states 1oz starsan per gallon. I presume thats a US gallon (3.8l is it?). Is 1oz 30ml? (Just going on side of starsan container, one side shows oz the ml).
So if I did a mix of 24L water to 190ml of starsan would that be right?
I presume that passivation requires a stronger solution mix. What do I do with the mix once complete? Its a lot of stuff to dump to drain.
Also, the temperature should be between 21 - 27C. Is this important?
Cheers in advance
