I brew out in the garage and only have a cold water feed, without resorting to heating water in the boiler, is there a cleaning retiming that I could use for bottles, FVs and stainless? I would mind a hot soak at a push, but really need a cold rinse...
I use star San to sanitise so am looking at cleaners here
Cheers

You could boil a kettle...

So do I take it that there are no effective cold use or cold rinse cleaners?

Oxy will work cold, just not as well

Biggest problem I have had in he past with using cold water is getting things to dissolve, any idea if this will be an issue with oxy?

Five Star PBW will clean and rinse cold well, although it works better at warmer temps

Instructions on PBW pot mostly advise warm soaks eg
More Info - Topic: PBW - Excel Calculation sheetRun solution for 25 to 30 minutes at temperature between 100F & 160F (38-71C). Immediately after CIP, rinse with clean potable water at same temperature.
Oxy is similar
When I use Wizz Oxy in garage I dissolve in water thats 50/50 kettle (boiled) water + tap water
Much less chance of it leaving a deposit.
Best to clean and rinse before it gets cold too.
Over night soaks or longer are a PIA to clean as they need a scrub to remove oxy deposit.
