If you’ve ever brewed beer, crafted cocktails, or served beverages through a draft system, you know how critical sanitation is. One missed spot can turn your carefully crafted drinks into a breeding ground for bacteria and off-flavors. That’s where Star San by Five Star Chemicals steps in—trusted by professionals and homebrewers alike.
Star San is a no-rinse, acid-based sanitizer designed to keep brewing and beverage equipment clean and microbe-free. Its fast-acting formula kills bacteria, mold, and yeast in just one to two minutes of contact time. Because it’s a no-rinse sanitizer, it’s convenient for quick turnarounds, leaving behind a flavorless, food-safe residue that won’t affect your beverages. Brewers often say, “Don’t fear the foam,” since the foaming action helps reach hard-to-clean spots.
Using Star San is simple. Just dilute 1 ounce per 5 gallons of water to create an effective sanitizing solution. Apply it by spraying or soaking your equipment, ensuring all surfaces are coated. After one to two minutes, let it air dry or drain any excess solution—no rinsing required.
