Cleaner?

[GeorgiaMead]

I wa wondering of anyone has a homemade recipe for a cleaner. I'd like to start a batch tonight but I'm out of cleaner. My carboy is clean to the eye, but all I have is sanitizer. I didn't know if anyone ha a simple home made cleaning solution that won't interfere with the wonderful creation process

Clean to the eye then sanatized is usually good enough. Just be sure to let the sanatizer air dry for a few minuts per lable instructions.

If you've got any plain old Oxyclean around the house that'll do the job. I use a brew wash from my LHBS and it's really just a no name brand Oxyclean.

Agreed, soak in warm water and oxy works like magic...but I'll guilty of a quick rinse with warm water and then sanitize.

I let the carboy and other stuff which will be used in brewing immersed in water + bleach for 30/40 min. After that I rinse with water and use a paper towel soaked with some cleaning alcohol (92.8%).

5 Batches split between primary and secondary right now and 2 aging. So far they are all okay.
