Quat based cleaners are plentiful, particularly in professional kitchens.
Homebrewers are told to avoid them becase they will make your beer taste like cardboard and have no head.
I was doing some research on how to get glasses "beer clean" and found the SDS for Last Call Beer Glass Sanitizer: SDS
When I look up the ingredients by CAS # they both come up as Quaternary ammonium compounds, AKA Quat.
I assume it comes down to the difference in your beer making contact with Quat for the few minutes it is in a glass after it is finished versus the time it would spend if you had sanitized equipment and or bottles with it?
BTW anyone have tips on "beer clean" glasses?
