Best Star SAN Alternative including all new Chemsan

Looks good; can you edit the permissions? I can't edit the yellow boxes.

Do you have to click an allow scripts or something at the top because there's no locking on it - I think you have to do open with google sheets to do it yourself.

Let me know what you've done and I'll see if I've done something wrong as I thought it would be all unlocked from the go.

Oh - the lower custom water amount shouldn't be there - I did some copy pasting and that doesn't update the vinegar amount. I stripped that down from a version where I was using different types of acids and it all got horrible.

Sorry, dude.

The other option is just use Proxitane, safe and breaks down in 1 hour, its what most breweries use.

I don't have Excel, so I open it with Google Sheets. For anyone in a similar position, it would require you to 'share' it from Google Sheets and set permissions.

I've set it to view only but then if you open it in google sheets you can go to File -> make a copy and edit your own version. I'm wondering if you could also download the excel file and upload it to sheets later if you wanted to.

I tried yesterday. I can copy but not remove the protection. But uploading my downloaded Excel file to Drive and opening with Google Sheets does allow me to edit the yellow boxes. I can't see or open the script editor.

Brew UK have replaced Starsan with something that looks pretty much identical.
I'll stick with bleach, though.

£20 for something that could last you 20 years! Seems like a no-brainer.

Well spotted. Yes that's a dead-ringer for Star-San. Looks like the problem is solved for those seeking a 1:1 replacement.

Yes Brew UK obviously alive to the opportunity - I had an email overnight from them on this.

On a related note I noticed that my large bottle has developed a small crack on the shoulder. Is it likely to deteriorate with air getting in - there is a lot left !!!

Maltmiller tweeting the same.

Pah! Ordered this morning...would have got some!

 

[Clint]

1 litre £11.99...
Air dry after 2 minute contact.
As it’s on at half price for a week I’ve ordered some....

Looks like somebody has filled the gap, this will put a serious dint in Five Stars UK sales.

I was going to ask a friend in the US to post 32oz across but I’ll just use this.

 

[MonkeyMick]

It's also half price this weekend only at Malt Miller!

 

[Mavroz]

Looks like this may be the way forward when my Starsan runs out.... How long does 2 litres approx last? Haha.

 

[Clint]

200 brews...

200 brews...

I think you missed a 0 off the end!

 

[Clint]

I based it on my usual 10 ml per 5 litres of sanitiser...2000ml / 10 ...200.
I usually fill my bottle washer with crown caps and fish them out as bottles get filled...be a pain having to lay them out to dry...
