EndBac cleaner/sanitiser

[wkel50]

I have been given 5ltr of EndBac cleaner/sanitiser by Johnson Diversy. ENDBAC
Linky = ENDBAC
It seems to fit the bill for using to clean/sanitise my brewing equipment. Dilutes 1:50.
Question - Is a sanitiser the same as a steriliser?

got this off pdf info....

Alkyldimethylbenzylammoniumchloride (<5%)
Alkyl alcohol ethoxylate (<5%)
Alkyl alcohol ethoxylate (<5%)

no satising can be taking your rubish to the bin but sterasing is a whole differnt ball game
steralising is making it steril to any germs and bactria
santising is removing the worst of it not all of it

Sanitising is fine for brewing. It's almost impossible to sterilise in a home environment due to all the bacteria flying around in the air - all you want to do is give the beer the best chance, so provided this is used as per the instructions, should be fine. Not sure if it needs rinsing afterwards to avoid any flavour tainting though.

Best way to quickly sanitize is to use steam, but a fair bit of caution would be required. Some household steam cleaners should work well - it ensures the nasties are all killed off.
