Anyone use this?
It's a no rinse food contact surface sanitizer spray solution that I picked up during recent trip to Restaurant Depot. The jar contains 50 tablets, each to make a 1 quart solution and comes with the spray bottle.
Up to now I have been using hot water with EasyClean without any noticeable (by me) issues.
Nu-Foam's The active ingredient is 50% ALKYL (C14 95%, C12 3%, C16 2%)
DIMETHYL BENZYL AMMONIUM CHLORIDE DIHYDRATE
(QUATERNARY AMMONIUM COMPOUND MYRISTALKONIUM CHLORIDE)
The direction are (in a nutshell) spray, wait a minute and let air dry.
The company web site actually boast that using it to clean barware leaves no residue and thus will not affect the head on a beer.
Plus it kills MIRSA and HIV so I got that not to worry about in my beer.
I used it on my last brew which I kegged over the weekend- fermentation was spot on and it tasted very good. No signs of any issues.
The tablet form is very convenient (I will still use easy clean and my cleaner). The effectiveness of this product decrease with hard water (over 500 ppm CaCO3) which isn't an issue for me. At about $10 for a 50 tablet bottle with the spray bottle, cost is not an issue.
I left the quart spray bottle in the kitchen and I find myself using it to wipe down my counter tops after prepping food - not that I was worried soap and a sponge was ineffective.
PS. I sent an email to the manufacturer (Glissen Chemical) asking about it's shelf life after fixing with water and if they are aware of any issues by home brewers who used the product. I
