I was introduced to homebrewing and have been using sodium metabisulfite and citric acid as directed (let's call is smca for the purpose of this post). It is rather harsh and I work out of my kitchen with a family kicking about in the background. The harshness of the smca just isn't practical for the asthma and kids i have in my busy home....what product do you swear by that works just as well if not better?
Some side notes and further explanation:
My cleaning process before and after brewing always starts with soap and water I then move to smca mix and rinse it out. As noted above it's just too harsh so I made a cheap $1.25 bag purchase of aseptox, which I've used up already and upon further research I've read that it is not as good as other products. Mainly it's a good cleaner but not sanitizer. So with this post I'm looking for the jack of all trades product. Something you have used multiple times and swear by.
Thanks for the awesome forum you guys have here. It's got a lot of quality info and I know I can find the answer if I do some searching but I do enjoy the process of starting threads and discussions.
