Do you need a low-foaming cleaner to sanitize your equipment? Saniclean is the low-foam version of Star San. Made by the same company that makes your favorite cleaners, Star San and PBW!
Saniclean does exactly what you want it to do: sanitize with low foam. It is also known as a flavor and odor remover, making it the perfect choice for acid rinsing your dispensing equipment. With a contact time of 2-3 minutes it is not as fast as Star San, but works equally well. Particularly well suited for recirculation through pumps and transfer hoses.
Dilute at a rate of 2oz Saniclean per 5 gallons of water.
Shipping Restricted: This product is only eligible for ground shipment within the contiguous 48 states.
Is this product supposed to have an odor? Star-san doesn't smell much, but my bottle of sani-clean has a distinctive odor that I'd compare to root beer or cola.
BEST ANSWER:Yes I do notice a slight odor. Nothing as strong as root beer. This is an excellent product and does not leave an odor in my hoses or tanks. But I do rinse with hot water before using in production.

Yea, I'd call it a faint root beer ordor. It's a great product that I have used for years. To be honest I had to go sniff the container to check because I never really notice it :-)
I run this through my conical, pump and lines with CIP ball before putting everything away for the next brew day. It's LOW foam, not no-foam so still gets where it needs to go.
Like a lot of brewers i don't have a dedicated brew station. Too cover my bases in sanitizing I make a cleaning batch of sanitizer for all the services I'm working on/around in addition to a separate batch for sanitizing. Saniclean is a good budget balancer for my brewing style and I've yet to contaminate a batch of beer using this product.
Our go to sanitizing rinse, we use this product to sanitize our gear during the final phase of filtering and bottling of white and or sweet wines. After cleaning and kmeta/acid rinsing of tanks, pump, hoses, filter/housing and bottling station, we rinse it all with a saniclean solution. It is a few minutes of contact, but we prefer the low foaming action of this product. We have used this for several years and have great confidence in Saniclean.
I love this addition to my sanitation regimen. I have begun using this in addition to Star-san and PBW as a final pre-Star-san rinse. I was having issues with low-grade bottle infections for beer competitions and long-term storage and I haven't had any issues since using this.
