AlkaBoost™ is a formulated, very low foaming surfactant and hard water control additive which is readily soluble in 50% caustic soda solutions without the need for prolonged mixing or heating.
Usage: Add at 10% by weight into 90% by weight caustic soda (50% sodium hydroxide) to formulate the concentrated caustic cleaner. This cleaner would then be diluted as needed.
AlkaBoost RTU™ is a formulated, very low foaming surfactant and hard water control additive which is readily soluble in 50% caustic soda solutions without the need for prolonged mixing or heating.
Usage: The additive comes pre-mixed with 50% liquid caustic soda and ready to use. Just dilute as needed to preferred active caustic set point.
REL-007™ Stainless Steel Polish removes greasy films, water marks, and finger prints from stainless steel surfaces. Forms an amazing protective coating that repels water, dirt and harmful liquids, while retaining its original luster over long periods of time. Never requires buffing.
Usage: For best results, use a soft cloth and apply REL-007™ Stainless Steel Polish evenly to surface. Remove any excess with a clean dry cloth.

Brewery CIP chemicals and well-designed CIP systems are essential for maintaining product quality, extending equipment life, and meeting strict hygiene standards in breweries. Proper cleaning prevents off-flavors, contamination, and costly downtime.
Whether you’re running a craft brewery, regional producer, or winery, understanding how to optimize your brewery CIP chemicals and cleaning processes can significantly improve efficiency and consistency.
In brewing and winemaking, even small amounts of residue can ruin an entire batch. Yeast, hops, tannins, proteins, and mineral deposits (commonly called beer stone or wine stone) build up quickly in tanks, pipes, heat exchangers, and fillers.
A properly engineered CIP system brewery allows you to clean equipment thoroughly without disassembly, saving time, labor, and water while ensuring consistent sanitation between batches.
Many breweries struggle with the following issues when it comes to their CIP processes:
Successful brewery CIP chemicals programs typically follow a structured approach:
Using high-quality brewery CIP chemicals with the right surfactant package is critical for achieving shorter cycles, better soil removal, and reduced water usage.
Many breweries are seeing major improvements by switching to AlkaBoost™, a high-performance alkaline booster and surfactant blend specifically designed for brewery and winery CIP applications.
Here are the key benefits brewers experience when using AlkaBoost™ in their brewery CIP chemicals program:

The most effective brewery CIP chemicals typically combine strong alkaline cleaners with high-performance surfactants. These formulations help break down proteins, yeast, hops, and other organic soils while controlling foam during recirculation. Many breweries also benefit from additives that help prevent mineral scale buildup.
CIP frequency depends on production volume, beer style, and equipment. Most breweries clean tanks and lines after every batch or at the end of each production day. Using well-formulated brewery CIP chemicals can help maintain cleanliness with fewer or shorter cleaning cycles.
In many cases, yes. When using high-quality alkaline cleaners with strong chelating and surfactant packages, some breweries are able to reduce or eliminate the separate acid cleaning step while still effectively controlling beer stone and mineral deposits.
Beer stone (calcium oxalate) is a hard mineral deposit that forms inside tanks, pipes, and heat exchangers. It is best removed using alkaline cleaners combined with chelating agents and surfactants. Regular use of properly formulated brewery CIP chemicals helps prevent beer stone from forming in the first place.
Yes. Every brewery has unique water conditions, equipment, and soil challenges. Many suppliers offer custom-blended brewery CIP chemicals tailored to specific needs, which often perform better than standard off-the-shelf products.
Yes. Contact us for volume discounts, custom blending, and private labeling opportunities tailored to your business.
Yes, our CIP chemical additives are formulated to enhance microbial control by breaking down biofilms and eliminating bacteria. This helps maintain a sanitary environment, crucial for industries such as food and beverage processing.
