this is something i use
70 % Methylated spirits and 30% boiled water as the disenfectant
-keeps indefinitely
-leaves no residue
-fairly cheap
-can be sprayed on and left to dry in the air
-the 2% methanol in the mix is not dangerous in the minute amounts that might be in the finished brew
- i havent had any ill effects on my equitment from this solution
salt in the airlock
-stops it freezing above negative 4 degrees c
-has an anti bacterial effect and dosent taint the beer if the airlock liquid gets sucked into the beer
-only problem is that if the airlock liquid evaporates the salt can crystalise and clog the airlock than boom
