I have just assembled a brew fridge, and put my 1st brew in to ferment. As i could no longer fit an airlock on top, I inserted a length of syphon tubing into the hole in the fermenter lid and just unscrewed the lid of my spray bottle of starsan and put the other end of the tube into the liquid.
Within a day the starsan solution was completely clear! It has always been cloudy for me, due to the hard water in my area. I would think that the CO2 from fermentation has dropped the PH and replaced the oxygen in the solution.
Will the starsan still be effective? I wonder if it's worth replacing the solution every day and building up a stock of clear starsan, it certainly looks more appealing even if it's no more effective.
