Basics of Home Brewing: What is Iodophor?
Here’s a home brewing video I recommend. Or go Back To The Home Brewing Site
Iodophor is a food grade, no-rinse, iodine-based sanitizer widely used in commercial breweries and the food industry in general. It is a very effective sanitizer that can be used on any surface, but it is often misunderstood. Iodophor works by releasing iodine, and that release is the actual sanitizing action. Iodophor is a very effective contact sanitizer, requiring only 1 minute of contact time to thoroughly sanitize the equipment it comes in contact with. Diluted iodophor has a reddish-brown tint to it, and does stain fabrics as well as plastics. Be sure to read the label to obtain the correct dilution for the amount of cold water youre using (its important to only use cold water when using iodophor). Simply mix up a gallon of the solution, slosh it around your fermenter and brewing equipment, and give it a minute to do its thing.
