Is there much difference between Stellar and Star san? How's the StellarSan stuff so cheap? (slrpnk.net)

Sorry for the newbie question. I'm just trying to figure out if there's some sort of catch here. I don't think the StellarSan stuff is diluted, so I've been trying to figure out how it's so much cheaper than starsan.

I've always just used dilute bleach for sanitizing...

If you're using chlorine based bleach and don't rinse seriously, you risk introducing a serious off taste. Not saying you're doing it wrong, and obviously, it works for you. I just wanted to leave this here for people who come by and feel compelled to do the same.
