That's fine, thanks for the apology, and for your helpful comments. I fully understand that one person's testimony is not of much value 8n terms of proving anything. I am sure I fell foul of some well intentioned misinformation but, for me, the bleach and vinegar approach has just been a godsend, after a period of wondering why I was getting infections and being extremely rigorous, but relying on Starsan after the cleaning process and immediately prior to using equipment. It just didn't work for me, that's what I know.@clib - ok sorry just venting some frustration, I'll accept unfairly. As I have a science & engineering background I put little weight on personal views unless well supported by evidence which I can assess & evaluate for myself. As you correctly point out one needs a pretty powerful mental junk filter when using the internet. However if used in the way intended and against the normal level of contamination left by good cleaning practices I can find no support for the assertion that no rinse sanitisers such as ChemSan or StarSan do not kill wild yeasts. It is as far as I can assertain an incorrect and what's worse a misleading statementf.
So my experience provided me with a very clear sense of what works and what doesn't, but it doesn't prove that Starsan doesn't work. My experience was just backed up by things I read at the time, including scientific explanations. I still believe that bleach and vinegar is better, because of my own experience. Better for me, at least. Maybe I was doing something wrong.
