A heavy-duty cleaning powder designed to remove stubborn residue from beer and spirit bottles. It dissolves grime, yeast rings, and organic buildup, preparing bottles for sterilising. Best used as a strong cleaner before using a sanitising agent.
Instructions:
Using gloves, wash bottles in a solution of 25 g washing powder to 4.5L of hot water, then rinse thoroughly. Cleaner only – sterilise using a BrewMaster sterilising agent.
Ingredients: Alkaline Salts 97.5%.
Potassium Metabisulphite is a sulphur-based compound that is used primarily to sterilise wine and cider making equipment and to protect the finished product. It works by releasing sulphur dioxide (SO2) into the wine, which helps to kill bacteria and inhibit the growth of most wild yeast, ensuring a clean and controlled fermentation.
It can also be used to eliminate both free chlorine and the more stable form, chloramine, from brewing and make-up water.
One gram of potassium metabisulphite will impart approximately 60 parts-per-million of sulphur dioxide (SO2) to each litre of wine. (Please note that this is an approximation; the exact amount of free SO2 can depend on the pH and tannin content of the wine).
As a guide, to treat wine must: Add 0.2g of potassium metabisulphite per litre of juice. Pre-dissolve it in a small quantity of cool water before adding to the must. Allow the must to ventilate in an open container for 24 hours before adding your chosen yeast.
It can also be used as a dependable all-round powdered sanitiser suited to almost any brewing or distilling setup. Ideal for those who want a classic sulphite-based sanitising method that is effective, economical, and widely used in home brewing. Helps prevent spoilage by controlling wild yeast and bacteria on equipment surfaces.
Instructions for use as a sanitiser:
Wash cleaned equipment (fermenters, bottles, siphons, etc.) in a solution of 40 g Potassium Metabisulphite to 4.5 L of warm water. Allow equipment to stand for 30 minutes to dry, then rinse with clean cold water before use.
Ingredients: Potassium Metabisulphite 100%.

PBW is an alkaline, non-caustic, environmentally and user friendly cleaner. This is the powder product - we also have the liquid and tablet form.
PBW 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, aluminium, and on plastics. PBW uses active oxygen to penetrate carbon or protein soils and is not effected by hard water.
PBW has been formulated as a clean in place (CIP) 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 PBW has been formulated with enough chelators to tolerate hard water over 17 grains (approx. 291mg calcium carbonate per litre).
PBW is an excellent choice as a soak cleaner because it does not require excessive heat as do most caustic based cleaners. This product has cleaned brass and copper filters, and industrial aluminium surfaces successfully.
Benefits
- Replaces Caustic Soda cleaners
- Effective at All Temperatures
- Free Rinsing
- Safe on Polycarbonate surfaces
- Safe to handle
- Generates 4 - 5% Oxygen
- Non-hazardous & Non-corrosive
- Excellent hard water tolerance
- Removes protein soil and staining, baked on carbon, and fatty acids
GENERAL USE DIRECTIONS
CIRCULATION CLEANING: Use 1 to 3 ounces per gallon depending on soil load. This converts to approximately 6.15gm to 22.50gm per litre. Heat to 130°F (54.5℃) to 180°F (82℃) for 30 minutes.
CARBON REMOVAL: Use 6 to 8 ounces per gallon of water. This converts to approximately 45gm to 60gm per litre. Heat to 140°F (60℃) for 4 hours or allow to soak cold overnight.
When using PBW in food processing areas the equipment that has been cleaned must be rinsed with potable water and sanitised prior to use.

Star San is a no rinse sanitiser made from 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 sanitiser. It can be applied through a foamer to produce self-adhering sanitising foam for external sanitation. Star San is also an excellent sanitiser for hand application. Sanitising 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.
BENEFITS
- Broad Spectrum Bactericide and Fungicide
- Not Affected by Organic Materials
- No Rinse Requirement When Used at 300 ppm
- Accepted by U.S.D.A. as a General Sanitiser in all Departments
GENERAL USE DIRECTIONS
All surfaces should be cleaned and rinsed before sanitising with Star San.
Directions: At a dilution rate of 1 ounce (29.57ml) to 5 gallons (18.93L) of water, Star San will provide 300 ppm of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid. After 1 to 2 minutes contact time, drain sanitising solution from equipment thoroughly. Do not rinse. If using Star San in CIP, proper water balance must be maintained or your pump may cavitate. If used at a rate of more than 300 ppm, a potable rinse is required.
StellarSan Sanitiser 500mL - 100% Food Grade non-rinse sanitiser that can be diluted to 333L with the dual chamber mixing bottle compartment. Simply twist off the small measuring compartments lid, squeeze the bottle and it will start to fill that chamber only.
Even when you're finished sanitising your products in a bucket for example, you can still re-use the sanitiser over and over again. Making it a no brainer for your brewing sanitising needs and the cost to you is greatly reduced.
The new and improved phosphoric acid blend provides a unique microorganism killing system, unaffected by organic soils and delivering a high foaming formulation with optimum coverage and penetration. It is perfect for sanitising your brewing equipment and surface areas. Not suitable for use on wood, unglazed porcelain or other porous materials. It is also not suitable for use on soft metal such as aluminium, copper or brass.
Please note that foam is okay! Pour your wort directly onto the foam as this is a foaming non-rinse formulation. The formula can be metabolised by the yeast and will act as a nutrient assisting yeast growth. Follow this procedure and it will not impart any off-odours or flavours.
Unlike other harsh chemical sanitisers, StellarSan is non-staining, and stable over a wide range of temperatures.
Phosphoric acid, which is in this formulation, also helps keep your stainless in good condition and will improve the stainless properties.
Use at a dilution rate of 1.5ml per litre.
