    Yes... brewers should allow their santizing to air dry in a clean area. Brewing/fermenting is even more susecptable to issues/infections as it’s kept at relatively high tmps for sometimes weeks in the fermentation process.

    I used to use that “Iodophor” I think it was called. Air dry and kept in a clean cabinet I set up for the stuff.

            Yep, I've used the iodophor stuff before. Stains plastic something fierce. The whole reason I bring it up is I've never even thought about sanitizing the sausage equipment before. Usually just wash everything really good in hot soapy water but after reading this I think I'll start sanitizing it too.

            lately I've been using star-san for brewing. It's a no-rinse sanitizer, that you can use immediately without waiting for it to dry. Only needs 30 seconds of wet contact time to sanitize. Spray it on with a spray bottle and 30 seconds later you're ready to go. It's also safe if consumed, so I would think it would be good for this application.

            Anyway, it's basically a strong acid (pH < 3.5), phosphoric acid if I remember right. Other than maybe imparting an acid twang to meat, do you see any problem with using it for meat processing equipment too?

And if you are rinsing does it concern you that you're rinsing your sanitized surface with unsanitized water? Or do you boil the rinse water first? I know there's been quite a discussion in the homebrewing world that rinsing with tap water after sanitizing basically negates the sanitizing.
                  at the right PPM chlorine as a sanitizer is safe.........

It's inexpensive, sanitary (made to wrap food with) and easy to clean up - just roll it up and toss it. And you can mark on it for cutting stuff to length to fit in the smoker. Plastic side up of course.

                    I like this. Usually use plastic wrap then Clorox wipes afterward. I think I need to order some. I hand wash all gear after cutting, grinding, stuffing to get off the excess, then into the dishwasher. Just me, I like stuff that "thrives on neglect"
