Here at thebrewshop we believe in keeping it clean...
Cleaners and Sterilisers

We'd suggest that for everyday homebrew use you just buy the Ritchie Steriliser, for both wine and beer.

It;s cheap easy and doesn't give off fumes. 

They use to go mad about cleaning in all the old books. It is important but as long as  the bits that touch your wine and beer are clean it's ok!

There is also the new boy, Chemipro Oxi- It's a new steriliser for the home brew market.

It says it cleans with oxygen and doesn't need rinsing off. We like it!

We've been using it and find it very good! It cleans the grill pan up a treat!
