tack "home brew" onto anything and the price rockets.

any thoughts on hydrogen peroxide as a sanitizer?
I like star san but it seems to leave a bitter taste, sorry if they're sponsors.
I am designing a fluid circulating bottle washer and trying to find something that won't eat my cheap pump.
Stone party was awesome this morning, though I doubt the were prepared for that kind of turn out.
Happy 4th you maniacs

Default J-512 an acceptable sanitizer?
I have a buddy who sells cleaning supplies for a living. After a conversation about homebrewing, and a few pints of said homebrew, he mentioned that he may be able to get me a product equivalent to starsan at a very convincing price(re:free). I don't know enough about cleaning products to know if this is acceptable for the brewing process... can someone more cleaner-savy than me take a look and tell me what you think?

Here is the MSDS: JohnsonDiversey - J-512TM/MC/Final StepTM/MC 512 Sanitizer

And here is the spec sheet: http://tinyurl.com/ns5tkx

Thanks in advance!


Rob

sounds interesting! I am no chemist but the ingredients in that 51 2 sanitizer sound fierce.
Anything that passes gub'ment standards must be good.
I wonder if it leaved residue?
Let us know

I've had a good scout around here, but I can't seem to get a definative answer.
Would Metabisulfite (sodium or potassium) be usable as a no rinse sanitiser? It seems okay for wine, so I'd assume it would be okay for beer, but I was planning using this for everything but I'd be a little bit scared of killing of any yeast when I bottle.
I would have thought though that the yeast would be well snough established that it wouldn't matter, along with the meta being so dilute. Any advice apperciated!

I just read through this entire thread and a couple others looking for some information on Oxyclean. I have yet to find what concentration anyone is using for cleaning with Oxyclean! If I remember correctly, I did see somewhere that 1 tbsp per gallon was being used, but I'm not sure. Can anyone offer up the mixture they are using?
