Peracetic acid for FV sanitisation?

Post by Manx Guy » Sun Jan 05, 2014 6:57 pm

Hi!
I've got some of this for my mini plastic casks...
But was wondering if it would be any good for sanitising a clean FV have any of you guys done this?
If so what dilution rate did you use?

I was thinking of the standard moraines 3ml per litre...
Any tips appreciated

Thanks in advance
Guy

It's a great no rinse sanitiser for all sorts of uses. Certainly no problem sanitising my Plastic FV (conical) with it.

The only reason that I have switched to star san is simply that the concentrated PAA solution is not very friendly to skin ;)

Thanks Alema!

Yes I have discovered that the undiluted PAA is quite nasty if you spill. It on skin...

I will try it this once now I have it diluted but may stick to starsan for FVs any any thing other than cask related sanitisation.

Cheers!

I get Perbac from my local micro. I'm diluting 1ml in 100ml of water for use as a non-rinse sanitiser.
