Description

Homebrewers know that proper sanitation techniques are critical for creating high quality homemade beverages. BTF Iodophor, an iodine based sanitizer, is a powerful, broad spectrum antimicrobial product that kills a wide range of bugs that are waiting to infect your fermentation. Unlike acid based sanitizers, BTF Iodophor reliably kills yeast, mold, fungus, bacteria, viruses and blood borne pathogens. 

BTF Iodophor offers a low cost per use, is gentler on your hands than other sanitizers, and is very low foaming. If used in the correct dilution (very important) it is a no-rinse sanitizer. It is safe to use on all your brewing equipment such as buckets, kegs, tanks, fermenters, bottles, etc. Even if you frequently use a sanitizer, it’s a good idea to have multiple sanitizers on hand especially when working with wild yeasts and bacteria or as a “change of pace” sanitizer.

Directions for 12.5 PPM Brewing Sanitizer Solution:

  • To Make 1.5 Gallons of sanitizer: Mix 1 tsp BTF Iodophor into 1 ½ gallons cool water
  • To Make 5 Gallons of Sanitizer: Mix ½ oz (1 Tablespoon) BTF Iodophor into 5 gallons cool water
  • Allow solution to contact surface for 2 minutes, then air dry.

Iodophor Features:

  • Kills yeast, mold, fungus, gram positive bacteria, gram negative bacteria, spore forming bacteria, viruses and blood borne pathogens
  • Use at a rate of 1/2 oz of BTF per 5 gallons
  • Low foaming
  • No-rinse at 12.5 PPM dilution (see above)
  • Non-corrosive and gentle on skin and hands

I wash all my equipment using a cleaner. The equipment is then stored away clean. I then use Iodophor to sanitize before bottling.

Does iodophor work well with CIP ball? Seems ideal because of cool water and low foam, but is it ok to let run for 20+ minutes of contact?
Lenny N on Feb 20, 2020
BEST ANSWER: This can be used with a spray ball to sanitize a tank. Running for 20+ minutes will be no problem.
Is this safe and effective to use in an oak barrel to treat mold? If so, would it require a different concentration or contact time?
Jacob B on Jun 15, 2022
BEST ANSWER: As far as I know, Iodophor is used as a final sanitizer. You need to clean your equipment with a cleaner.

It works. I'll be happy till I'm not.

Might have been nice if the mix instructions on the bottle included weight ratios. But easy enough to figure out if you bring out a calculator.

I have used this for years. Inexpensive, non- foaming, no-rinse if mixed correctly. 2 minute contact time. Don't leave for days in plastic buckets or carboys, will stain slightly. Cheap enough to mix up 4 or 5 gallons and toss after use.

This is an RV and camper lovers dream
I'm not sure how caustic this stuff is or carcinogenic but I must say it works like a charm. To me, it doesn't seem that bad because I think it's iodine-based. We used to get iodine all over the place when I was a kid. We got iodine smeared on our cuts, iodine was more prevalent in our foods. But not anymore. So I don't mind using the stuff. I think I can sanitize my tanks in 2 minutes and all I have to do is pour it in. Shoot, 2 minutes goes by so fast...it usually sits in there a lot longer before I can even flush it back out. But see I'm using this to sanitize fresh water tanks and water lines in my camper. It's perfect for that. I don't Brew my own beer or anything so I've never tried it in that context. But if you love to go camping and you have a hard time with bleaching out your water lines and freshwater tank, just try this stuff. It's easy as pie.
