I'm mid chilling - having to bodge together some sanitiser for the fermenter cos I've run out of Iodophor :?

I've got some star san which I've never used as it always goes cloudy with my tap water due to the hardness/alkalinity. So I've had to treat my tap water with CRS to reduce the temporary hardness then mix with Star San - seems to have done the job, the PH is below 3 and it hasn't turned cloudy :thumb:

Ahhh....Black Sheep. Bootiful. Enjoy it! Always nevevous about leaving a brew part done: the missus might demand that something gets done instead and I end up chucking it away!
