    Just noticed a deal at Sears today for a 1 gallon garden sprayer for $6.50 (http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_07110255000P?pid=07110255000&sid=I0084400010000100402&aff=Y) and thought I'd take the chance to put in a plug for these things for sanitizing.

    I use this exact sprayer and StarSan exclusively for all of my sanitizing. One gallon will last about 4 brew days and bottlings and is the most convenient way I've found to sanitize. The nozzle can be adjusted to shoot the sanitizer at a near 90 degree angle so it's perfect for sticking inside the carboy or bottles and getting complete coverage. I've never had issues with infections, foam is practically non-existent for those of you who are cautious about it, and the time and sanitizing solution it takes is a fraction of any other method I've come across.

    I'm a big proponent of the system and just thought I would pass along my experiences and point out a great deal. Cheers!
