Hmm, ginger beer is pretty tough stuff and should hold up to typical sanitizers. The jar and equipment don't even need to be sanitized to be honest. Just a normal clean. It's not like yogurt or beer making where you need a sterile environment and you control all the variables. It's like a living entity and will do fine in any environment, even a dirty one.

Sanitizer may have damaged GBP

2017-09-26T04:30:40

Hello,

I decided that I needed to start sanitizing my jars/equipment and sanitized them with Star San (http://www.fivestarchemicals.com/wp-con ... ch-HB2.pdf).

My first ferment smelled and tasted different from previous ferments. Also, the color was a little lighter than usual, which hinted that something was going wrong. I used the same recipe practically every time.

Is my GBP permanently destroyed? How should I sanitize my equipment? Boiling at 170 degrees?

Thanks for your response!
