Unfortunately, I live in a city without a brew store and I want to do some kegging this weekend. Is Iodophore sold in any other type store that we might have here? If not can you recommend another sanitizer. I know I can use bleach but I am afraid of what any residual chlorine may do to the taste. I suppose I can use boiling water or 70% ethanol.

A Bleach and Vinegar (careful! Read the following forum post before doing this) solution can be mixed so that it is an effective no rinse sanitizer.

    I would use boiling water over bleach anyday.
I would use about three or four gallons of boiling water with a funnel of course, cap it up with the lid on tight and leave it for 15 to 20 min.
the steam would do a great job killing all the bugs.

You also could go to one of the Beer shops online and order some Starsan thru the mail.
