Where to buy Star San or Betadine

Post by L2wis » Mon Apr 19, 2010 8:40 pm

Hey all, I hope this question hasn't been asked too many times before but i'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction for getting myself some Star San or Betadine?

Can you buy any of these from shops or are they only online products?!

humm i don't think there any of those near me. Star San looked a bit expensive when i seen it on the HG website. I might go ask at my local pharmacists for iodophor tomorrow.

humm okay, I work out:

236ml star san for £8.40
4ml per 2lt of water for a batch: 59 lots of 2 litre (59 batches)
0.14p a batch.

I guess thats not too bad, plus from what i read it's more effective than using the cheap sainsburys thin bleach at 28p for 2lt at killing the germs.

the no rinse should be accounted for in the maths too i suppose! I do tend to use a lot of water rinsing!

just spotted: Chemipro OXI 1KG on http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/aca ... gents.html

it works out at just 6p a batch. Does anyone have any experience using it? it also states no rinse required.

just seen this thread sorry!
