Sanitizer
Is anyone here familiar with Eco Lab's Multi Quat 146 Sanitizer and is it a viable product for sanitizing beer making equipment

Re: Sanitizer
I, too, have access to dual-quat sanitizer at work. It is my understanding that it is not recommended for brewing purposes, but never heard why. I'm curious what everyone has to say...

Re: Sanitizer
Well it seems that there is not to much information about the use of Quat sanitizer in beer production so i will develop some.
Considering I do not want to potentially waste a whole batch of beer, I am going to Sanitize 4 12 oz. bottles with the Quat Sanitizer and air dry them the remaining product will be sanitized by Hot water in the dishwasher for the control group.
I will post results of the experiment when completed
Luckily my wife is a food scientist and professional taster she will beable to tell if there is even a minute difference the the two samples

Re: Sanitizer
Let us know your results. We use this kind of sanitizer in the food industry a lot. At least the version we use at my store, it's no-rinse, but it does need to totally dry. Never noticed a residual taste, but it does have some level of chemical odor when wet.

Re: Sanitizer
Well it looks like Quat Sanitizer is not a good choice,
Upon doing some research apparently the sanitizer is "Persistent" meaning even after rinsing and drying it can remain on the equipment and I would guess potentially kill the yeast.
