New Starter - What Do I Need?

Post by mikew » Mon Jul 27, 2009 9:41 pm

I am just about to invest in my equipment for starting my first home brew kit, and was looking for some cleaning advice, what are the basic items I need to clean and sterilise, my equipment, for kit brewing. From Messages on the Equipment board I saw some suggestions for the use of VWP Powder which I see is a Cleaner and Steriliser, Is this really an all in one can solution type thing or are there other reccomendations.

Any Help would be appreciated.

I started with VWP which was fine but laborious, I found that investing a little more in a "no rinse" cleaner like Star Stan of Oxi was a worthwhile investment

Thanks for the response Simon, Do you think that I will require anything else for cleaning, or is soap and water and Star San, acceptable?
