Does Iodophor Last Forever?

[Big Tex]

Over the weekend I was digging around in an old box looking for some brewing gear that I misplaced (happens all the time) and came across an old bottle of Iodophor. It must be at least 10 years old... Is this stuff still any good?

[Mylo]

It definitely doesn't last when mixed. I wonder if it would still work after that amount of time as a concentrate. Probably not worth the gamble. I would spend the $10 and re-up...

I would buy some fresh Iodophor.

Some of the iodine I see in drug stores has a shelf life less than 5 years. And that's unopened.

[Big Tex]

Yeah... I'll just dump it. I've switched over to Star San so I don't use it anymore but felt guilty to throw it out if it was perfectly good.

Damn that's a good question. I used Iodophor for a long time but I do admit I love starsan now. Don't fear the foam!
