All Go Cleaner

All Go was suggested to me by a local brewer in Chch. According to them and the manufacturer it is used by a lot of the commercial breweries in New Zealand.

The reason I decided to find something other than PBW was the cost. Imported cleaning materials are quite expensive in NZ, so using something local made sense.

I have found that I can re-use the solution many times. See disclaimer.

WARNING

THIS CAN KILL YOU! It is highly corrosive and toxic. This is a very basic material, so you need an acid to counter it. I always have a 2L bottle of vinegar nearby.

Use of PPE while using this is highly recommended.

Contact the manufacturer to get a safety data sheet.

First Aid (Personal Experience)

  1. Immediately remove all contaminated clothing

  4. Any hard or stubborn residue should be removed with a soft cloth. Scrubs can be used, but not on plastic

  10. Rinse the vessel

Re-Use

I have found that the diluted mix can be stored and re-used. If the mix is still quite clear after use I will store it for re-use. The moment it is not clear I will discard it.
I discard the mix if it has been used six times or for three brew days.
