Aloha forum,
I am curious if anyone is familiar with amonium persulfate and what concentrations it's used in. Our owner has used this in past for kegs and some bottling line sanitizing but he doesn't know how much was used. He knows the water solution ph had to get to 2-1.5 before using. We have had a lacto and pedio infest and deamed it to come from our oxygen stone for aerating wort. I am trying to find if I can use amonium persulfate to nuke our ferms to get these guys dead. Every thing i have read so far indicates it is a bad toxic and im concerned about using it in ferms. We now soak our stone in caustic after use and rinse with hot liquor before reasembly. Currently we are heat sanitizing with 180+ water for 25mins then letting cool down and running an ambient peroxycetic acid for sanitizer before filling with wort and yeast. Any suggestions or help in nuking ferms to feel safe to use again would be helpful.
