Sanitizing Agents

Star San is an acid-based sanitizer that is quick, odorless, tasteless and safe for most materials except softer metals. As a high foamer, Star San's foaming action insures coverage and contact time in larger vessels and better penetration into nooks and crannys. Star San and is perfectly safe and non-toxic: any foam that is left over in your vessels or on your equipment will not harm your wine or you. Star San will not impart any flavors or odors. Star San is easy on the environment as well: Despite being a very effective acid-based sanitizer at its prescribed concentration, raising the pH well above 3.5 (using simple baking soda or any waste PBW) renders Star San inactive as a sanitizer and the raw ingredients actually feed the aerobic bacteria found in septic systems or wastewater treatment facilities! To Use: Use of 1 oz per 5 gallons of water and a contact time of 1 minute makes Star San very economical and convenient. If you plan on making some up for spray applications it is best to use distilled or RO water to maximize the life of the unused portion (minerals in tap water reduce the shelf life of Star San once in solution). If a lower foaming alternative is preferred for bottling, filtering, or a final acid rinse, check out Saniclean. Complete information on cleaning & sanitizing can be found in our Cleaning & Sanitizing manual.   Please note: Due to DOT HAZMAT shipping restrictions, orders for 15-gallon, 55-gallon, or multiple 5-gallon units will require freight shipping. These sizes are intended for commercial use. HAZMAT items are not able to be returned.

SaniClean is the low-foam version of Star San. With a contact time of 2-3 minutes it is not as fast as Star San, but works as well. You also have to use twice as much, 2 oz per 5 gallons, for the same effect. However if you are using a pump it is the right choice. SaniClean is also known as a flavor and odor removal, making it the perfect choice for acid rinsing your dispensing equipment. Made by the same company that makes Star San and PBW and packaged in the same easy to use container as the 32 oz Star San. Please note: Due to DOT HAZMAT shipping restrictions, orders for 15-gallon, 55-gallon, or multiple 5-gallon units will require freight shipping. These sizes are intended for commercial use.

Sodium Percarbonate is currently on backorder for all sizes. There is no estimated availability at this time. Typically used as a cleaning agent, it is a compound of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. Sold commercially as "Oxy-Clean" and various other names. For use in cleaning barrels, mix 0.25 to 0.5 ounces per gallon of barrel in cold or warm water, and dissolve completely. Pour into barrel, and top up with water (do not use hot water, it will release the hydrogen peroxide too quickly). Soak for a few minutes, up to a few hours. The longer the soak the more tannins will be extracted from the wood, reducing the life and flavor of the barrel. Drain the barrel, rinse with water, and rinse the inside of the barrel with a citric acid solution (1 tbsp citric acid per 5 gallons water) to neutralize the sodium carbonate. For general cleaning of equipment, use .5 to 1 ounces per gallon of water. Usage: 0.25 to 1.0 ounces per gallon of water Chemical name: Sodium percarbonate Compostion: Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate >= 85% Carbonic acid sodium salt (1:2) <= 13% Sodium silicate SiO2/Na2O <= 1.5%

Craft Meister Alkaline Brewery Wash gets the results of professional caustic without burning your skin or hands.  Dissolving rapidly in both hot and cold water, Alkaline Brewery Wash works quickly to break down heavy soils and removes even the most stubborn bottle labels.  Great for an overnight soak, but not suggested for use on aluminum. The biggest difference between this and an Oxygen based cleaner, is the length of time the cleaner will work.  With oxygen based cleaners, as soon as that active oxygen degrades, you are just soaking in dirty water again.  The Alkaline however, will continue to work long after Oxygen based cleaners stop.  If you normally leave a dirty carboy or keg overnight with PBW or OxiClean, the Alkaline Brewery Wash will do that job better. Alkaline wash cleans brew kettles, corny kegs, fermenters, fittings, tubing and bottles Use on glass, plastic and stainless steel Works in hot or cold water and rinses freely No chalky build-up Directions: Fermenters, Fittings, Bottles and Tubing: use 1 oz (2 scoops) per gallon of water.  For heavy soils and brew kettles use 2 oz (4 scoops) per gallon of water.  Spray or immerse surfaces and allow cleaner to loosen soil for 5-20 minutes.  Rinse with clean water and sanitize, if required.

Quat-free sanitizers are ideal for food processing environments where surfaces are sprayed down with sanitizer multiple times a day. Standard Alpet contains Quat, also known as quaternary ammonium chloride compounds. These compounds remain behind after the leftover alcohol evaporates and continue to break down germs on the surface.
