Non-rinse UK Sanitiser??

[Ramsbottom_Brewer]

Anyone tried Milton? Its a non-rinse that popular with sanitising baby stuff. It is easy to get hold of here in the UK but am wondering if anyone has used it.

If not, what do other UK brewers use for non-rinse sanitisation?

I don't have the bottle to hand but I believe the one I use is called Chemipro Oxi, my LHBS sells it. What part of the country are you from?

A little further reading here suggests it's not a great sanitiser but I've not had any problems yet.

I'm near Manchester. I emailed Milton and they replied with the following:

Hi Mark,



I have been associated with Milton for 26 years now and homebrew and winemaking consistently account for several percent of sales.

Use either tablets or fluid at the baby bottle dilution.

I know of no adverse comments.

Cool, on reflection I think my parents may have used it before I was born for wine making.

If you use Milton you have to rinse it when used as recommended, other wise you run the risk of the chlorine forming chloropenols and getting a TCP like taste.
Thin bleach is as effective and is cheaper (28p for 2 litres).
