Pure Oxygen-Based Brewing Equipment Cleaner
100% Sodium Percarbonate is a powerful oxygen-based cleaner for removing dried yeast, wort, tannins, proteins and other organic residue from home brewing, winemaking and distilling equipment.
When dissolved in water, sodium percarbonate releases active oxygen that penetrates and lifts stubborn brewing deposits. It is ideal for routine cleaning of fermenters, kegs, kettles, bottles and brewing systems before applying your final sanitiser.
Available in a convenient 100g sample sachet or economical 1kg pack.

Beer, cider and wine bottles

How to Use Sodium Percarbonate
Fermenters, Kegs and Tanks
Mix approximately 5g per litre of warm water.
Fully wet or immerse the surfaces being cleaned. Allow the solution time to loosen the brewing residue, then drain and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Kettles and Brewing Systems
Mix approximately 10g per litre of warm water.
Fill, soak or recirculate the solution through the brewing system. Allow sufficient contact time before draining and rinsing thoroughly.
Warmer water speeds up the cleaning reaction. Remove loose debris first and ensure the solution reaches every internal surface.
Is Sodium Percarbonate a No-Rinse Sanitiser?
No. Sodium percarbonate is primarily used to clean brewing equipment and must be rinsed after use.
For reliable brewing hygiene, follow this process:
-
Remove loose debris and brewing residue.
-
Clean thoroughly with sodium percarbonate.
-
Rinse completely with clean water.
-
Apply a suitable no-rinse brewing sanitiser immediately before use.
Effective sanitising begins with properly cleaned equipment, but cleaning and sanitising remain separate steps.
Does Sodium Percarbonate Remove Hop Oils?
Pure sodium percarbonate is effective against many organic brewing deposits, but it is not the best choice for heavy hop oils or greasy residue.
For difficult hop oils, beerstone or heavily soiled equipment, consider using a formulated brewery cleaner such as StellarClean PBW.
Important Safety Information
Sodium percarbonate is a concentrated oxidising cleaner and must be handled carefully.
