What are you using to clean and sanitize your equipment and your bottles? What procedures do you follow religiously and have you ever had a "bug" ruin a batch of beer?
I asked the owner of the local brew supply shop about this stuff. He said it "will" act as a sanitizer if you let things soak in the solution for a good 15 minutes. It is listed as a cleanser...in order for "One-step" to be listed as a sanitizer, the company must undergo a lot of testing, documenting, blah-blah-blah...which costs a lot of cash. It works by oxidation(I was told), and a prepared batch will last 3 to 4 weeks.puddlethumper said:I am curious about a product called OneStep. I have a 5# jar of the stuff. Anybody have any experience with it?

I just don't want any dam bugs in my beer. Been there and done that and don't want to go back!

...Just wondering because this supposedly does not foam so I have thought about switching. I saw some warning about soft metals (aluminum) but that is not an issue for me.
