Homebrewers know that proper sanitation techniques are critical for creating high quality homemade beverages. BTF Iodophor, an iodine based sanitizer, is a powerful, broad spectrum antimicrobial product that kills a wide range of bugs that are waiting to infect your fermentation. Unlike acid based sanitizers, BTF Iodophor reliably kills yeast, mold, fungus, bacteria, viruses and blood borne pathogens.  BTF Iodophor offers a low cost per use, is gentler on your hands than other sanitizers, and is very low foaming. If used in the correct dilution (very important) it is a no-rinse sanitizer. It is safe to use on all your brewing equipment such as buckets, kegs, tanks, fermenters, bottles, etc. Even if you frequently use a sanitizer, it’s a good idea to have multiple sanitizers on hand especially when working with wild yeasts and bacteria or as a “change of pace” sanitizer. Directions for 12.5 PPM Brewing Sanitizer Solution: To Make 1.5 Gallons of sanitizer: Mix 1 tsp BTF Iodophor into 1 ½ gallons cool water To Make 5 Gallons of Sanitizer: Mix ½ oz (1 Tablespoon) BTF Iodophor into 5 gallons cool water Allow solution to contact surface for 2 minutes, then air dry. Iodophor Features: Kills yeast, mold, fungus, gram positive bacteria, gram negative bacteria, spore forming bacteria, viruses and blood borne pathogens Use at a rate of 1/2 oz of BTF per 5 gallons Low foaming No-rinse at 12.5 PPM dilution (see above) Non-corrosive and gentle on skin and hands

Spray it and you're done! Every brewery needs a bottle of Alpet on hand for quick sanitation before or after cold-side transfers, hop additions, or pulling samples. Very useful for spraying ball valves on your conical or tri-clamp ferrules before connecting fittings. Really anything that you can't easily soak in your standard sanitizer! Quat-free sanitizers are ideal for food processing environments where surfaces are sprayed down with sanitizer multiple times a day. Standard Alpet contains Quat, also known as quaternary ammonium chloride compounds. These compounds remain behind after the leftover alcohol evaporates and continue to break down germs on the surface. In home use, the quaternary ammonia will eventually break down and evaporate as well, but in professional environments, surfaces are often sprayed down again before it has the chance to evaporate. Quat-free Alpet is the sanitizer of choice for breweries, wineries, and bakeries that don't want residual ammonia interfering with yeast activity.  Alpet D2 Quat-Free Surface Sanitizer is a ready-to-use, no-rinse, fast acting, food contact and non-food contact surface cleaner and sanitizer. It is highly evaporative and ideal for water sensitive equipment and dry environments. It leaves no unsightly residue, and is an effective sanitizer for those processors who can't use quat.
