Brewing sanitizers brands???

[MarineRedneck]

I see on here with bleach and things with cleaning. But my question is what is the most cost effective and great for the money on a sanitizer? We started with the powder cleaner given in a kit, and now that we are almost out I am trying to find something that works great, cleans with ease, and is worth the money for it. If anyone could help me out that would be great.

From what I have been told clearers and sanitizers are two separate things. I use PBW or oxyclean to clean fermenters and other equipment. After I clean the equipment I use starsan to sanitize everything that comes in contact with the wort. I use starsan just because it came highly recommended. You can mix a batch and it keeps for a while. DON'T FEAR THE FOAM

Cleaner -- Oxi Clean "Free" without Perfumes & Dyes -- Walmart, etc.
Sanitizer -- Star San -- at your LHBS or online retailer
