Announcing: Vantage Synergy Power User Formula – Three Part Draft System Cleaner

Vantage Synergy Power User Formula CL34

Vantage Synergy Power User Formula from MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

  • When you want to clean your draft system like the pros, use the most advanced cleaning system available
  • Vantage is the only beer line cleaning system that removes beerstone, biofilm, odors, and biomass (including bacteria) in a single pass. Commercial cleaning systems involve multiple passes with different products
  • Vantage is much safer to use than traditional alkaline or acid-based beer line cleaning products
  • Maximize the effectiveness of Vantage Synergy by combining the Biomass Remover, Demineralizer, and Accelerator to create the Power User Formula

Vantage Synergy is an industry-leading non-caustic, non-toxic beverage system cleaning solution that reduces cleaning time by up to 50%. This non-hazardous lineup of cleaning chemicals reduces the risk of injury compared to other caustic solutions, and is much more environmentally friendly thanks to its biodegradable chemistry.

The Vantage Synergy Power User Formula combines the Biomass Remover, Demineralizer, and Accelerator to create the most powerful, yet safe, beverage system cleaning solution on the market. Combine 2 oz of each cleaning solution per gallon of water, and you’ll be able to remove beerstone, biofilm, biomass, and odors from your beverage system in a single pass. Non-caustic, non-corrosive, and non-hazardous. Vantage Synergy can replace dangerous, corrosive acid cleaners while cutting your cleaning time in half!

Biomass Remover
Biomass Remover offers all the power of caustic without the associated danger. This revolutionary non-caustic beverage system cleaner replaces traditional hazardous alkaline products such as Penetrate. Safety matters, and Vantage Synergy Biomass Remover provides all the results of traditional, hazardous, alkaline caustic without any of the danger. Triple zero rated for health and safety. No DOT hazardous shipping warnings. Features industry standard tracer dye.

Demineralizer
Vantage Synergy Demineralizer can be used in place of corrosive acid-based beverage system cleaners such as ALC as a safe, effective alternative. Acid cleaning beverage systems on a quarterly basis is the best way to reduce beer stone deposits, but traditional acid cleanings are time consuming, dangerous, and are often underperformed. Put the acid cleaners away and save time and improve beverage quality by demineralizing a beverage system with every cleaning cycle with Vantage Synergy Demineralizer. Triple zero rated for health and safety. No DOT hazardous shipping warnings. Features industry standard tracer dye.

Accelerator
Accelerator super charges the Vantage Synergy Power User Formula to provide superior results with unmatched safety. This enzyme-based cleaner will reduce biofilms and odors throughout your beverage system. Enzyme-based cleaners for beverage systems are a safe and modern alternative to traditional hazardous chemicals. Vantage Synergy Accelerator is not a standalone cleaning option but is designed for the three-part Power User Formula.

For use with CO2 pots and recirculating pumps:

  • Add 2 oz Biomass Remover, 2 oz Demineralizer, 2 oz Accelerator per gallon of water for the complete Power User Formula.
  • ONLY mix Vantage Synergy products with each other.
  • NEVER mix any other chemical products with Vantage Synergy products.

Highlights:

  • Use the three-part Synergy package and reduce cleaning time by up to 50%
  • Non-caustic, non-corrosive and non-hazardous
  • Triple zero health and safety rating
  • No DOT hazardous shipping charges for freight or parcel delivery
  • Improve personal and consumer safety, reduce property damage and injury liability claims
  • Built-in industry standard tracer dye
  • Biodegradable chemistry limits wastewater effluent concerns

Challenge: Not having enough time to perform industry standard cleaning cycles and visit enough accounts per day.
Solution: Use the three-part Synergy package and reduce cleaning time by up to 50%.

Challenge: Existing cleaning products are hazardous, dangerous, and corrosive.
Solution: Vantage Synergy chemicals are non-caustic, non-corrosive and non-hazardous. Switching to Synergy will improve personal and consumer safety, reduce property damage costs and mitigate injury liability claims.

Challenge: Built-in tracer dye as an industry standard safety feature.
Solution: Our “old” caustic and acid brands did not feature a tracer dye, Vantage Synergy does. Tracer dye indicates when cleaning solution is loaded into a system.

Challenge: Dangerous caustic and acid chemicals are not “green” products.
Solution: Vantage Synergy products are biodegradable and limit wastewater effluent contamination concerns.

Challenge: Hazardous shipping fees are expensive for freight and parcel delivery.
Solution: Vantage Synergy products are “triple zero” non-D.O.T. regulated for shipping.

Announcing: Kegland Bucket Blaster – now at MoreBeer

Bucket Blaster - Keg and Carboy Washer

Bucket Blaster – Keg and Carboy Washer via MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

  • Quickly clean kegs and fermenters while you tend to other tasks
  • High flow rate pump provides a powerful blast that coats the inside of the vessel
  • Use it for cleaning or sanitizing with your favorite solutions
  • 15L bucket provides a much larger reservoir compared to other models

Everything included in the system neatly fits inside the bucket for easy storage
The Bucket Blaster is a convenient and effective system for cleaning and sanitizing kegs, carboys, and other brewing vessels. The beauty of the Bucket Blaster is that you can set it and forget it. Simply set up the keg washer basin with your cleaner or sanitizer, set your vessel over the jet nozzle, power up the pump and let the Bucket Blaster do the work while you tend to other tasks. Perfect for homebrew kegs, carboys, FermZillas, or bucket fermenters.

This unit comes with a 15L (3.9 gal) bucket, which doubles as a storage container when you are not using the system. Other keg washers come with a very small reservoir that make it a pain to move, as liquid spills over the sides easily and generally they just do not work as well. The Bucket Blaster’s large 15L reservoir makes it much less likely for you to spill liquid on the floor, and since it can hold more cleaning solution, each cleaning cycle will be that much more effective.

Includes:

  • Submersible Pump – 2,000 L/hr
  • 15L Bucket
  • Powerful Jet Nozzle
  • 9.5 mm EVABarrier Tubing
  • Gray and Black Ball Lock Disconnects
  • Duotight fittings for all connections
  • Kegland Part Number: KL15905

 

  • MoreBeer has the recently introduced Bucket Blaster for $69.99.
  • To sweeten the deal, shipping is also free to many US addresses.

These caps also work great for quickly and conveniently cleaning your draft lines.

Fermenting with the FermZilla? This is the same ball lock fitting included with the FermZilla Pressure Kit and it’s also compatible with the FermZilla Collection Container. If you use the collection container to add dry hops, attach one of these caps and you’ll be able purge the container of oxygen before opening the dump valve to introduce the hops. Attach some tubing and diffusion stone and you can oxygenate your wort through the collection container as well!

The barb is Duotight compatible. If you’d like to use the cap with 8 mm OD EVABarrier tubing, see DUO100.

PBW is an oxygen based cleaner, much like Oxiclean, but it contains some other ingredients including including surfactants and a chelating agent. These make PBW more effective than oxygen based cleaner alone. Surfactants lower the surface tension of water. That aids the process of removing soils.

Oxiclean Versatile Free (and other percarbonate cleaners) are popular homebrew cleansers. One way to super oxi cleaners is to add a surfactant like TSP.

The general ratio that’s floating around is 30% TSP and 70% Oxiclean. Use 1 oz by weight of that mixture per gallon. So, for one gallon that would be .3 oz TSP and .7 oz Oxiclean.
