yeah, I'm with spud on that one. I've been doin the same and asked about it on hbt <a class="postlink" href="www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/charlie-talley-diy-sanitiser-337123/">www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/charlie ... er-337123/
Didn't get a particularly definitive answer but I've ordered my first bottle of Starsan yesterday so that I can rely on my spray bottle long term

Bleach and vinegar are considerably cheaper, so no worries mixing up fresh stuff every time! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
