Brewing vessel cleaning composition and related methods of use

A method for cleaning a food and beverage contact surface, the method comprising:

• introducing an acid cleaning solution to a food and beverage contact surface, the acid cleaning solution including an acidic cleaning composition comprising:
• an acidic solution comprising about 22% to about 35% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition, the acidic solution comprising a combination of at least three mineral and organic acids that includes phosphoric acid in an amount of about 19 to about 29% by volume of the acidic solution, hydroxyacetic acid in an amount of about 0.5 to about 3% by volume of the acidic solution, and etidronic (HEDP) acid in an amount of about 0.5 to about 2% by volume of the acidic solution;
• a surfactant comprising a sultaine surfactant and an amine oxide surfactant in an amount of about 2% to about 10% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition, the sultaine surfactant comprising about 1 to about 5% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition, and the amine oxide surfactant comprising about 1 to about 5% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition;
• an oxidizing agent comprising hydrogen peroxide present in an amount from about 1 to about 25% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition;
• optionally a solvent present in an amount from about 1 to about 8% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition;
• and
• water in an amount of about 30 to about 74% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition.

An acidic cleaning composition for cleaning food and beverage contact surfaces, the acidic cleaning composition consisting of:

• an acidic solution having a combination of mineral and organic acids present in an amount from about 22% to about 35% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition, wherein the combination of mineral and organic acids includes at least phosphoric acid in an amount from about 19 to about 29% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition, hydroxyacetic acid in an amount from about 0.5 to about 3% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition, optionally sulfuric acid, and etidronic acid in an amount from about 0.5 to about 2% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition;
• a sultaine surfactant and an amine oxide surfactant in an amount of about 1% to about 10% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition, wherein the sultaine surfactant comprises at least one of alkyl ether hydroxypropyl sultaine or cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine in an amount from about 1 to about 5% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition, and the amine oxide surfactant comprises at least one of octyl dimethylamine oxide, decyl dimethylamine oxide, lauryl dimethylamine oxide, dihydroxyethyl cocamine oxide, myristyl dimethylamine oxide, cetyl dimethylamine oxide or oleyl dimethylamine oxide in amount from about 1 to about 5% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition;
• an oxidizing agent comprising hydrogen peroxide present in an amount from about 1 to about 25% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition;
• and
• optionally a glycol ether solvent present in an amount from about 1 to about 8% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition;
• and
• water in an amount of about 30 to about 74% by volume of the acidic cleaning composition.
