Cleaning and Sanitizing Kit

Keeping your equipment clean and sanitary is the first step toward making fantastic wine, but the number of products to choose from can make your head spin. That's why we put together a basic cleaning and sanitizing kit to set novice wine makers on the path to success.

Star San
Star San is an acid based sanitizer that is quick, odorless, tasteless and safe for most materials except softer metals. Use of 1 oz per 5 gallons of water and a contact time of 1 minute makes Star San very economical and convenient.

Craft Meister Alkaline Brewery Wash
Does your cleaner power through dirt in cold water? Craft Meister Alkaline Brewery Wash does! This versatile and powerful brewery cleaner dissolves quickly and cleans rapidly in cold water in addition to hot water. Ideal for overnight soaking as the solution does not lose effectiveness over time like oxygen based cleaners such as Oxi Clean. Craft Meister Alkaline Brewery Wash will not leave a white chalky film on your equipment like most oxygen based cleaners and rinses away with ease.

Plastic Syringe
This plastic syringe is perfect for measuring out small amounts of liquid. Star San is so concentrated that the dilution rate is only 1 ounce per 5 gallons of water. This can be done with ease thanks to the volume markers on the bottle, but what about when you want to make a mini batch of sanitizer? Instead of making 2.5 or 5 gallons of sanitizer to fill your spray bottle from, simply add 2 ml of Star San directly to the 8 oz spray bottle, fill with water and you're all set.

Spray Bottle
A bucket full of sanitizer is great for soaking equipment, but not every job requires that much solution. This 8 oz Sanitizing Spray Bottle is the answer! Great for a quick spray on hands, fermenter valves, sample takers, etc. either before or immediately after use. Use the plastic syringe to add 1/2 tsp (2 ml) of Star San and fill with water. Sanitizer will last up to 1 week before it is ineffective.
