I'VE been using this for most brewing cleaning for the last few years but I was in lidl yesterday and could only find a perfumed oxy product. Anyone know if they are still carrying this (website is not informative) or have any recommendations for a good replacement general purpose brewing cleaner?

Sure, my issue is I was in lidl yesterday and it looks like w5 oxy has been replaced with something else which has either perfumes or optical brighteners (depending on the version you buy) neither of which sound like they belong in a brewing cleaner.

In sheer panic I tried the Belfast City Centre Lidl yesterday and they'd loads of the stuff.
I panic bought 2 tubs of it, just in case.

Barry, those two tubs will go for a fortune on the Oxy black market in a few years.

The replacement products appear to be the exact same as the "competing" offerings in Tesco and Aldi apart from the packaging, and probably came from the same source.
So, more "choice" from the multiples. >:(

Pardon my ignorance, but what constitutes the other 70%? The ingredients on the side of the tub don't exactly give much away.

I only have stainless and glass so gonna give it a go with a massive rinse out like I used to do with the w5 in any case.

What was the source for the percarbonate on ebay? The pricing is all over the shop, £39.99 for 5kg from one and £48 for 25kg from another seller.

It's sold for cleaning wooden decking etc in 25kg bags. I split my bag with a couple of guys and I'm fairly heavy handed with the stuff for all sorts of cleaning jobs anyway so big bag suited me.Quote from: imark on July 26, 2018, 07:40:46 PM

I have just sent this to Lidl's customer service:
customer.services@lidl.ie (http://customer.services@lidl.ie)
Maybe a few more emails from us could get it re-stocked!
Its been a while since I contacted you re. the W5 Oxyclean that us homebrewers use.
Imagine our disapointment when we find you have taken it off the shelves to be replaced by the 2 Formil cleaners.
Unfortunately these are perfumed and so are unsuitable for cleaning our brewing equipment.
There are nearly 1500 homebrewers in Ireland that regularly went to Lidl to buy the Oxyclean. Whilst in the store we would naturally checkout your range of craft beers and special offers in the way of tools and equipment. We buy the vacuum packers, cool boxes, tools etc etc.
Can you please review the descision to take W5 Oxy off the shelves.
One more moan: You no longer stock the Red grape juice as we are also wine makers and your red juice made an excellent base for fruit wines (Guess where we buy the fruit!)
Will Davis, Malahide

It smells pretty faint, but I don't know what the non-perfumed smells like to be able to compare...

Not sure how it compares in price to the W5 stuff but it seems like decent value. Got some at the weekend and cleaned my keg and FV with it. I had no idea my FV was that manky until I used it. Whoops.

I got a tub of the Dunnes' stuff. Definitely perfumed.

I got Astonish in a dealz type sttore in Letterkenny. Its non perfumed and great, but not as obviously reactive in terms of oxidation as the old W5 OXy.

That's unfortunate about the perfume, you would think theyd have to list it. I'll try out that astonish stuff. And sorry for the massive photo size, I forget to resize them when posting from Tapatalk.

Someone on the HBF UK put me onto this - https://www.bmstores.co.uk/products/astonish-oxy-active-plus-2kg-340423
Not sure how it compares in price to the W5 stuff but it seems like decent value. Got some at the weekend and cleaned my keg and FV with it. I had no idea my FV was that manky until I used it. Whoops.
Whats the size of your vessels and what ratio did you use?

Well the fella that originally put me onto it said he uses 1 scoop per 2 litres of warm water. And 2 scoops per 2 litres if you really need to shift something that's caked on.
I have 2 x 5 litre plastic FV's and 2 x 19 litre corny kegs.
You obviously don't need to fill either of these types of vessels to the brim with water. I used 2 scoops and about 4 litres of hot water when cleaning my keg. Because of the design of the keg, it acts like a thermos, so the water stays warm for hours. I was faffing around doing other stuff so the stuff had hours to work its magic. But in reality, you could clean the keg properly in about 10 minutes.
