Cleaners & Sanitizers

STAR SAN is a blend of phosphoric acid and dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid. This synergistic blend provides a unique killing system that is unaffected by excessive organic soils. STAR SAN is also a self-foaming sanitizer. It can be applied through a foamer to produce self-adhering sanitizing foam for external sanitation. STAR SAN is also an excellent sanitizer for hand application. Sanitizing with STAR SAN on a daily basis will leave equipment in an acid condition that will eliminate water spotting. It is not recommended to use STAR SAN on soft metals because of the acid nature of this product. Note: This product can only ship via ground transportation.MSDSTechnical Sheet

PBW is an alkaline, non-caustic, environmentally and user friendly cleaner.P.B.W. is a buffered alkaline detergent that has been proven to be more than an effective substitute for caustic soda cleaners. Because of its unique formulation of buffers and mild alkalis, it is safe on skin as well as soft metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and on plastics. P.B.W. uses active oxygen to penetrate carbon or protein soils and is not effected by hard water. The oxygen also helps in reducing B.O.D. and C.O.D. in wastewater, which is an added environmental benefit.P.B.W. has been formulated as a C.I.P. cleaner and is very effective in removing protein soils found on brew kettles, fermenters, conditioning tanks, filters and all packaging areas. The concentrations to remove these soils are typically in the 1% range. However, due to soil and water conditions this concentration will vary. To help in hard water areas P.B.W. has been formulated with enough chelators to tolerate hard water over 17 grains.

B-BRITE™ is an eco-friendly cleaner that uses sodium percarbonate and sodium carbonate to remove stains, beerstone and other fermentation residues. It contains no chlorine (contrast C-BRITE™) and no disulfites (contrast sodium metabisulfite and potassium metabisulfite). While it is not a sanitizer or disinfectant, B-BRITE™ has moderate antimicrobial properties that are beneficial in fermentation settings. It is safe to use on all materials. Recommended usage: Dissolve one tablespoon of B-BRITE™ per gallon of warm water (4 mL per L). Wash equipment with B-BRITE™ solution and then rinse with clear, cold water. For descaling of significant mineral buildup, a 20-30 minute soak in B-BRITE™ solution might be required. Rinse with clear, cold water after soaking.

One Step is an excellent oxygen based, no-rinse hard surface cleanser designed for brewers and wineries. Contains no chlorine, which can leave a film on glassware and corrode stainless steel. Requires two minutes of contact time, no rinsing required! Environmentally friendly and non-toxic. Use 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. What is One Step?One Step is the only environmentally sound, non-toxic, no-rinse cleanser on the market today for brewers and wineries. Unlike other cleansers that require rinsing because of their alkaline nature or that use material that can be harmful to the environment, One Step—the original no-rinse cleanser—uses active oxygen to clean your equipment. In addition to being designed to minimize residue and while maximizing detergency, One Step uses oxygen entrained within a mineral crystal that dissolves when combined with water. The oxygen is then released to form hydrogen peroxide—a compound long known for its sanitizing and disinfectant abilities. The hydrogen peroxide completes its work and then degrades into oxygen and water, leaving behind only the minerals that are stable, naturally occurring compounds—no different than minerals often found in drinking water. Because One Step is essentially non-foaming when used at the recommended concentration, it may be used in clean-in-place (CIP) systems as well as in the soak tank. One Step may be used on, essentially, all surfaces and is safe for brass, copper, aluminum and stainless, as well as polycarbonate and vinyl. Soaking and Manual Washing:Dissolve 0.5 oz per gallon of water. If heavy soils are present, 1–2 oz will boost detergency but remember to rinse to remove residue as well as soil. If surfaces are visibly clean prior to washing, no rinsing is necessary. CIP Cleaning:Use 0.5 oz for daily treatment of minimally soiled vessels and equipment, but for heavily soiled vessels such as fermenters, 3 oz is recommended. Heat the solution to 120–180°F and circulate for 30 minutes. Follow with a clean water rinse.

Soda Ash, also known as sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), is the sodium salt of carbonic acid (soluble in water). It is primarily used to remove tartrates in wine barrels. Use two ounces of soda ash for each three gallons of water. Fill the barrel half full with water as hot as you can get it. Then add the soda ash that has previously been dissolved in a little hot water. Shake or roll the barrel until the solution is well mixed. Now finish filling with water as hot as you can get it. Bung the barrel tight and roll it around to agitate it. Roll the barrel several times during a 12-hour period. Then empty it and rinse several times until all the solution has been washed out. 5 pound bag

Sulphur Strips are used when your barrel is not in use to prevent vinegar bacteria from forming.You want to use one stick per month when the barrel is not in use. Light the stick, suspend it about half way into the barrel using wire or other non-combustible material, and loosely insert the bung. After 5 minutes, remove the sulphur strip (being careful to not burn yourself), and firmly insert the bung.Thoroughly rinse the barrel before using it again.

Micro Matic Acid Beer Line Cleaner is a heavy-duty phosphoric-based beer line cleaning solution for professional use on the most difficult job or everyday line cleaning. This product is colored red, is manufactured in the United States, and is approved by all major U.S. breweries.  ACID CLEANER SOLUTION ATTACKS AND KILLS DANGEROUS CONTAMINANTS IN YOUR BEER LINES  Acid Beer Line Cleaner Attacks and Dissolves:  Proteins  Calcium Carbonate (Beerstone)  Hop resins  Biofilms  Acid Beer Line Cleaner Kills:  Bacteria  Molds  Yeast  THIS BEER LINE CLEANER FEATURES  Brewery Recommended Solution – Brewers recommend using 3.33 ounces of solution per gallon of water for effective cleaning. A lower solution mix (i.e. one ounce) will not be as effective in removing build-up and deposits in the lines, thus leading to additional cleanings.  Surfactant Technology – Micro Matic Beer Line Cleaner solutions contain the latest surfactant technology on the market. Surfactants are wetting agents that reduce surface tension between the deposit to be removed and the cleaning agent. The surfactant brings the deposit and cleaning agent into better contact, allowing for a higher degree of chemical reaction for removing deposits. The surfactant agent also enables faster and more thorough rinsing–ensuring all the chemical is washed out of the line.  Color Indicator – Eliminate the guesswork often involved in beer line cleaning with a color indicator. This feature lets you know when the acid chemical solution is in the line and when it has been safely rinsed out.  NOTE: Micro Matic Beer Line Cleaner solutions are for professional use only. Read and follow directions for use. It’s harmful or fatal if swallowed. Download the Material Safety Data Sheet for more information and before using.  Ships via ground transportation only.

Straight-A is an essentially non-foaming and environmentally sound product to remove tough soils yet protect soft metal finishes and minimize residue. Straight-A was developed as an environmentally sound product to remove tough soils yet protect soft metal finishes. Straight-A incorporates active oxygen for de-staining and protein disruption in addition to alkaline salts and chelating agents to break down and disperse soils. In this way Straight-A helps to quickly and easily rinse soils away while minimizing residue. Furthermore, the oxygen content provides an additional benefit by lowering the oxygen demand of the wastewater. Straight-A’s components will readily biodegrade or revert to naturally occurring minerals over a short period of time and the product itself is non-hazardous and non-corrosive. Because Straight-A is essentially non-foaming when used at the recommended use concentration, it may be used in clean-in-place (CIP) systems as well as in the soak tank.  Straight-A may be used on essentially all surfaces, being safe for brass, copper, aluminum, and stainless, as well as polycarbonate and vinyl. 5 pound bag Safety Data Sheet
