CLEANING AND SANITATION
After you have received your new equipment and removed it from the box it is very important that you properly clean the
equipment thoroughly with a general detergent such as Dawn dish soap. This will remove any debris and oils that may have been
left behind from shipping and the manufacturing processes.
Cleaning and sanitizing all your home brew equipment before every use is an important aspect of brewing. Using good cleaners
and sanitizers can make the difference between having a great beer and a spoiled one. Good preparation for your upcoming
brew day is key. Make a checklist of the equipment you will be using and note whether it needs to be sanitized or only cleaned. In
prepping for your brew day, always make sure your equipment is ready to go when you are.

ALWAYS START WITH A CLEANING AGENT
Before you do any sanitizing, you need to thoroughly clean your equipment. Sanitizers do not work on equipment with soils on
the surface, and bacteria and wild yeasts will remain. It is always best to immediately wash your equipment after use while the
soils are soft and easier to remove.
There are a number of good cleaning agents on the market. One Step™, Straight-A™, and Powdered Brewery Wash™ (PBW) are
three of the most popular. These products may be used on bottles, fermenters, and other equipment. Cleansers should be rinsed
after use. Don’t soak your equipment in a cleansing solutions for longer than the time recommended on the packaging or you can
damage your equipment.
As with ALL chemicals, ALWAYS thoroughly read the instructions, material compatibility, and safety warnings. Never use more
than the recommended concentrations or soaking times or you may damage your equipment.
