Kemphos 2001 (CTSP Pink) is a chlorinated Trisodium Phosphate cleaner with a unique color indicator - the solution mixes as pink, and if put in brewing equipment that is dirty and full of organic deposits, will turn light yellow. Use this indicator by noticing the color of the solution as it exits your equipment - if is still pink, the equipment is clean, but if yellow, your equipment needs further cleaning.
Best of all, it includes chlorine, which is marketed in countries outside the USA as an effective sanitizer*. Instead of using something like PBW® and Star San®, use this as a one step clean before brewing. While you are calculating this in your head, consider the cost of cleaners like PBW® and Star San® compared to the single purchase of Kemphos 2001!
This cleaner is versatile, and can be used as a general cleaner, and also works well as a beer line cleaner with its color changing indicator.
CAUTION: This contains chlorine, and stainless steel contact should be limited to 8 hours or less to prevent possible corrosion.
This 1 pound jar will make up to 25 gallons of working solution.
*Note that due to EPA regulations, we cannot call a cleaner that contains chlorine a sanitizer unless the chemical producer has spent thousands of dollars for an official EPA Sanitizer registration.

Q: Since this product contains TSP, can I use it to passivate the Stainless Steel in items such as new SS Brewtech bucket fermenters?
A: It is chlorinated so it best not to use on stainless for periods of 30 minutes or more.
