Just wondering if there are any cleaners other then the items sold through the brew supply houses. Ther has to be a cheaper alternative. Thanks

Oxyclean and Bleach are common alternatives to cleaners and sanitizers respectively. Get something that doesn't have any extra scent or perfumes.

Should specify to only use Oxyclean Free. It doesn't have any fragrances that could wreck your beer.

Yeah, I have used the other stuff too without problems. I don't smell anything out of either of them.

Interesting. I suppose if you have it on hand you could use it. If you are buying it specifically for this purpose, I'd stick with the Free.

I use the knock off Oxi, SUN Cleaner from Wal-Mart, much cheaper and does just fine.

I just use Dawn to clean and star san to sanitize. Dawn is very cheap and a little star san goes a very long way.
