I get mine from Bookers. 5l containers.

I wouldn't leave it in your kit for much longer that 10 minutes before you rinse it through. It's quite caustic.

Has anyone noticed a big variation in the quality of the various brands of beerline cleaner?

I used to use Bactosol and it was great - absolutely devoured any organic matter. Now Makro have stopped selling it and I've been using Makro own brand or Nilco. Neither of these are in the same league as Bactosol. I guess they get away with it because in pub use, no one quite knows what's happening inside the pipes. Different for us though where we can see the effect or lack of!
