malt miller is pretty decent. Normally very quick.
The homebrew shop are also pretty quick. I think they have Chemsan which is also a no rinse sanitiser. I tend to use either Chemsan or Starsan .
I placed an order with Malt Miller Thursday Evening, online. It was here this morning, right in time to open the fv lid and put the hops in. Thanks.
You can't buy Starsan here anymore, you can in the U.S. I think. It's been replaced by Chemsan. It's just as good though. I've used both.

Wow! I bet that was expensive - must be the last dregs. Brew 2 bottle have a litre of Chemsan for £17.95
It's been back on sale in the UK and the EU for a while. There was temporary red tape that had meant it disappeared for a while.
I see. Looks like the price has been inflated then due to this. Chemsan is exactly the same product and does the same job. Up to the consumer what their priorities are I suppose? Paying for a brand name or paying for the cheaper English substitute?
Also the graduation markings are in ounces on the Starsan bottle which is difficult for English people to comprehend, as opposed to ml on the chemsan.

Each to their own. It is being phased out so at some point you will be forced to change. I appreciate why you like it but time will tell whether you can get hold of it!

I would be curious to know your source of information that it is being phased out?
Something to do with not being able to get hold of the ingredients. Not sure of the details? Like I say time will tell.
Please carry on buying it and posting the best price for us all because I’m sure we’ll all be interested.

There was an issue getting Starsan a while back but I think that got resolved recently. I still buy it from time to time, but also use Chemsan now which is similar. I think Chemsan might be more dilute
OK, we have gone to it not being available any longer in the UK to it being phased out, to not sure of the details.
Haha, Time will tell...
We certainly will my love. It'd be so nice it we could have unbiased reviews of stuff.

If Chemsan is exactly the same, is that getting phased out too because of the ingredient shortage?
