Sanitiser & Cleaning

Home brew cleaning & sanitising are essential for producing consistently good beer, cider and other fermented drinks. Clean brewing equipment helps prevent unwanted flavours, contamination and spoiled batches.

Cleaning Before Sanitising

Cleaning and sanitising do different jobs. Cleaning removes dirt, yeast deposits, residue and other build-up from your brewing equipment. Sanitising then helps reduce unwanted microorganisms before your equipment comes into contact with your brew.

For the best results, clean your equipment thoroughly before you sanitise it. Pay particular attention to fermenters, taps, bottles and other areas where residue can collect.

Sanitising Brewing Equipment

After cleaning your equipment, use a suitable brewing sanitiser according to the product directions. Make sure fermenters, lids, airlocks, taps and bottling equipment receive proper sanitising before they contact your wort or finished brew.

Some brewing sanitisers require no rinsing when you mix and use them at the recommended concentration. However, directions vary between products, so always follow the instructions supplied with the individual cleaner or sanitiser.
