    Hi all.
    Is anyone using any supermarket cleaners for cleaning brewing equipment?
    I don't feel like paying the postage for, already overpriced, online homebrew stores cleaners.
    Also, I don't feel like waiting so it would be great if there is something in Tesco, or whatever, that i could use.
    Would appreciate any help on this.

    W5 Oxy Cleaner from Lidl does the job.

    I think it has been a while since they stopped selling it, and replaced it with sam scented Formil bs.

    I dont have the price of formil to hand, but never thought that Sodium Percarbonate was particularly badly priced (and per Kg, was close enough to supermarket 'oxi' cleaners).

    What is relevant is that the brewery cleaners tend to have more of the active ingredient, and less of the rubbish that needs to be rinsed off afterwards. That tends to matter when you are cleaning dispense equipment like kegs etc. rather than easy to clean fermenters.

    If you shop around on ebay, you might be able to bulk order sodium percarb cheaper than LHBS for heavy use.
