Clean gear is the quiet hero of great beer, and the right tools make it effortless.
No-rinse sanitizers like Star San or iodophor knock out microbes on contact, protecting aroma, head retention, and shelf life without leaving off-flavors.
Dedicated brushes—carboy, bottle, and keg dip-tube brushes—scrub away biofilm in hard-to-reach spots, while soft sponges and non-abrasive pads preserve stainless interiors.
Oxygen-based cleaners (PBW, OxiClean Free) break down hop resin and protein, and an alkaline wash followed by an acid rinse keeps stainless and glass spotless and scale-free.
Use spray bottles for quick-contact sanitation, soak lines with recirculating cleaner to purge yeast and sugar buildup, and finish with fresh gaskets and lube to seal out oxygen. This routine stops infections, prevents stuck valves and foamy pours, and keeps flavors sharp—from crisp pilsners to juicy IPAs—batch after batch.
