This has changed my brew days completely! A truly no-scrub solution! I haven't touched my brushes since I started using this. Carboys? No problem. Just swish it around, rinse, and you're done! Have a CIP setup? Then this is a no-brainer. This works well even at room temperature, but works extremely well with hot water. I love this stuff!

Fantastic cleaner. Works as described, incredibly soluble, easy to rinse away.

Cleanes great and rinses easily.

A must have in the home brewery.

The larger the amount the cheaper it is

I bought this because I had heard it was safe for copper counterflow wort chillers. But does not indicate that is so on the container or on the manufacturer's website (nor does it say it is not safe). I contacted the manufacturer by email asking about use on copper but received no reply. I can use on stainless, but that was not the intent. Does anyone know (with certainty) if it is safe to use this on copper? If so, I'll change rating to 5 stars.

Best cleaner I have used. Easily blows away pbw and oxiclean. I use this with a new CIP ball and chugged pump. It takes care of it without any scrubbing. Amazing.

Works well with cold water.

It is a great cold and hot water solution! Cleans better and without a waterline and film in whatever you are cleaning (bottles, kettles, etc.).I get several multi cleans with this solution whereas with oxygenated products, it is one and done. I should have switched to this long ago!

I've used them all and I can say that this one is by far my favorite. It will dissolve in any temp of water just fine and does a really thorough job cleaning the equipment. Highly recommend!

Cleans crusty yeast from fermenters better than PBW or Oxi-Clean

Very expensive at the concentrations recommended. Be careful to ensure the powder is completely dissolved; I found a lump of this stuff at the bottom of my kettle after brewing - 70 minute boil! I hadn't realized that during cleanup after the previous batch, the cleaner had not completely been dissolved by recirculation.

very good for cleaning, i run it thru a CIP and removes all soil within 15-20 minutes

Craft Meister alkaline brewery wash is a great alternative to PBW, mainly because it is effective in cold water.

I'd been using Oxyclean, but like the fact that this works faster, and rinses easier than either Oxyclean, or other homebrew cleaners.

Works great. I use it to soak carboys, clean keys and kettles, and soak old bottles. Works well on everything.

I like this stuff! Works well in all conditions, cold or hot water.

The cleaner does a good job of removing grime without a bunch of elbow grease. It seems the amount required to do the job is excessive, making it expensive to use.

Product is a bit more expensive than I like but it is a great pre-wash cleaner for those hard to clean kegs.

Best wash I have ever used

I use this product to clean wine bottles. It has helped me to re-use wine bottles that I could not get clean before. I do soak them for about 6 hours in a bucket filled with hot water. I follow the directions for how much product to use per gallon. Then after the water cools down I use my bottle brush on them. The results are beyond words. This soaking also helps in the removal of labels. I have used PBW, it does not do as good of a job.

I use this on glass and stainless steel. Left overnight, it will breakdown nearly anything. I'm not sure why the description says it will not burn your hands. Perhaps it won't "burn" them but it's definitely not comfortable. I highly recommend using rubber gloves when handling this. This stuff doesn't mess around.

This cleaned spots in my glass carboys that PBW could never get rid of. Claims to work better with overnight soaks, which is what I do on all my equipment. Its a bit cheaper too which certainly isn't bad with as much as I use it.

I've come to prefer this cleaner over PBW because this one dissolves more easily with less wait and less stirring, cleans just as well, and rinse water does not have to be hotter than the mixture to rinse well. I think it may also be less dusty because I used to sting the inside of my nose when dumping the PBW powder into the vessel to be cleaned, but that has not happened with ABW. I use it for soaking glassware like growlers, washing out plastics like fermentation buckets, and in the sump pump powered keg washer. It does not foam or otherwise cause me any trouble in any of those applications.
