Starsan and Microbreweries

Does anyone know of any UK Micro's that use StarSan?
If not, why not?
It seems most use Paracetic acid.

Yeah probably.

Don't know if anyone imports it in any great quantity as they probably would have to get EU import permission or something.
It's all US safety stuff that's on the packs.

Just wondered why 5-Star hadn't started marketing it in the UK to the growing band of Micro's? Seems to be more 'stable' than Paracetic in that it can be reused etc.

No demand for it, really. Peracetic is cheap as chips, and used by the tiniest microbreweries upwards.
