At that rate, my 1 lb jar will be gone in two cleanings. I use one tablespoon in two and half gallons of water, for cleaning the krausen ring inside a carboy. I go light because I don't mind a little brushing, versus extra heavy rinsing of cleaner residue. I will soak hoses, but only for a couple of hours and in tepid cleaning solution.
I always wear gloves, PBW I believe is a fairly strong base that will strip your hands natural oils leaving them very dry, particularly is you also work with StarSan without wearing gloves. So would PBW not be necessary for cleaning fermenting buckets?

I use it on all my fermenters, but its the most useful on carboys and better bottles where you can't reach everywhere. I prefer not to scrub my plastic buckets to minimize scratches, so that's why I use PBW on them. It works just as well and will save you some serious cash. For kettles I'd use it at the recommended concentration. Eric B. Finally got around to starting a homebrewing blog: The Hop Whisperer. Quote from: FLbrewer on February 22, , pm. Review 2.

That seems like this is a lot of product to clean a glass carboy?
I ask because other than seeming like a lot - it is also very hard to rinse effectively and seems to leave a film on the glass. I always just eye ball what is probably around 1 table spoon and soack for a few hours. Works great. I have always considered the recommended amount way overboard but that's just me. I use 2 heaping tablespoons if it was a primary, less if it was just a secondary. Yooper Ale's What Cures You! Staff member. I don't soak anything in a 5 gallon quantity. Then I dump it out and rinse it.
I keep a 5-gallon bucket of solution on hand; 3. For fermenters and kegs PBW says. Using teaspoons; it would take 3. I did some math and that would come out to Might as well make it 9 tbsp per 5 gallons. That's getting a bit crazy, i know I've been using tsp per 5 gallons and it works fine if you let it soak.
