When i started out brewing beer i have not found any useful information about this cleaner. I've seen some posts scaring people away from the stuff but in some countries you can't buy Star-San or other well known sanitizers.
So far i have made 6 batches using only this cleaner where 3 got bottled and already consumed and 1 bottle carbed and 2 are is still in the fermenter. I had zero infection issues so far. I mean the 4 bottled beers were fine and the 2 batches in the fermenter are looking good visually. (i have not tasted them yet)
According to the label it is made of sodium carbonate and peroxy hidrate.
I dissolve 4g/l in warm/hot water. I stir it a few times and when most of the little white balls disappeared i put the bottles and other equipment into the solution. I use random contact times but it is always at least 2 minutes long. Then i let them dry for a while, i don't rinse anything. It leaves some white residue. It is probably made of this:
