W5 Oxy

[mr hoppy]

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?

Lidl w5 big rinse afterwards and then whatever you use to sanitise

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.

Poundand etc also stock an unperfumed oxy cleaner up north here. Maybe try Dealz and the like?

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.

Dang it. This is worse than the recent water restrictions, or the fuel shortages of 2000. Inhuman, is what it is. Wonder what the reasoning behind replacing such a seemingly innocuous product is. Should I be stockpiling on Cien brand fabric softener? Silvercrest paper shredders? Diving gear? Solar-powered garden lights that don't work?

This country...

Looks like it's true....no W5 Oxy in Magherafelt, Ballymena or Antrim Lidl...I took the "scenic" route on the way home last night.

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

500, not a penny more

Sodium Percarbonate can be bought on ebay. I bought 25kg bag recently when I heard of the imminent demise w5 oxy. Worked out a good bit cheaper and I've enough cleaner for a while.
