be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.

I recently brewed a Belgian Amber Ale, the put some brett into the secondary.

How long should one leave it there before bottling?

Happy Brewing!

Subject: SaniClean

Jeff,:
I switched from StarSan to SaniClean for the same reason, I pump my
sanitizer through a spray ball to sanitize my 28 gal concial. I use it
at the stated concentration and never post rinsed. I Ihave seen no it
effects for this process. BTW I also pump PBW through the spray ball
to clean fermenter. using this technique I only use about a gallon of
sanitizer or PBW. I got the small poly sprayball from GW Kent.

Cheers,
Kevin

Subject: Sanitizer Question

I have been using StarSan to sanitize my equipment.  I have considered
switching to SaniClean since it produces less foam.  (I use a pump in part
of my operation.)  However, I am not sure about rinsing.  Some descriptions
of SaniClean indicate that it must be rinsed, which I would prefer not to
do.  Other descriptions refer to it simply as a low foaming alternative to
StarSan.  Since StarSan is a no-rinse sanitizer, this would infer that
SaniClean is as well.  Does anyone have experience in using SaniClean as a
no-rinse sanitizer?
