what sources are there for affordable cleaners?
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

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!

I switched to Oxiclean from Walmart (generic) and have been happy with it

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!

Thanks for the input Veng. I am going to give it a try. I'll let you guys know how it works.

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?
