DESCRIPTION

ACID CLEANER #6 is a specially formulated as a keg cleaner to solve scale formation that develops with standard alkaline cleaners. Its blend of detergent and acid quickly penetrates dried beer and easily dissolves oxalate scale. Being an acid detergent, it can clean in a CO2 environment without damaging the keg. Continual use as the main keg cleaner will keep scale free and condition its inner surfaces.

ACID CLEANER #6 can also be used as the main cleaner in bright beer tanks. Its
ability to work cold and in CO2 makes it ideal for this job. It saves time by not
requiring CO2 evacuation, and also its cold use will not create “rain storms” in the
cooler.
