Five Star | PBW Cleaner | Powdered Brewery Wash | Non-Hazardous | Alkaline Brewery Cleaner | Environmentally Friendly

    Description

    A safe alkaline cleaner for everything in your brewing universe!

    PBW (Powdered Brewery Wash) is a favorite of small home breweries because it out-performs dangerous caustic chemicals without scrubbing. Just put your kettle, bottles, carboy, etc. in for a good long soak and watch dirt, krausen and any other organic material simply rinse or wipe away. Will not corrode soft metals.

    USE CAUTION when you use PBW in closed equipment. When you mix hot water and PBW in an air or water-tight space, it will create pressure.

        The cleaner removes all discoloration from coffee percolator, coffee mugs and tea mugs. I used the product for years on wine making equipment.

        Best Choice

        We have been using oxi-clean free for all our cleaning needs for years; tried this at the recommendation of other brewers and I wish we had done this years ago! Oxi-clean is good for mild stains and general cleaning but PBW goes beyond and makes cleaning stains/burnt on crud a breeze! We rarely have to even scrub much anymore, instead just let them soak for a couple hours.

        It's PBW!

        There will always be debate about making your own cleaner or using certain brands of laundry booster, but in my opinion there's no beating PBW for cleaning containers or equipment in clean-in-place systems. I've tried using "laundry booster" with my home-made keg/carboy washer but had to keep cycling the pump on and off due to excessive foaming. With water over 100 degrees F, foaming hasn't been an issue at all. It also works great when soaking labels off import .5 liter bottles and doesn't leave the residue that phosphate free TSP will. It's more expensive than some of the other options out there, but it seems to have an indefinite shelf life and buying in bulk makes a huge price difference.

        The product itself is outstanding! I recommend buying in bulk. It will get used.

        Great Product

        It's easy to forget these minor ingredients in the brew process, but this one works perfectly and exactly as advertised. Not harsh, but a very effective cleaner for all brew equipment.

        Best Cleaner Out there

        I buy mine in 4lbs quantities. I have found this lasts for a long while since I only use about 3oz per 5 gallons of cleaner. I've even used this for laundry. Definitely worth the purchase that every home brewer needs. Remembers sanitizer only sanitizes and cleaners only clean.

        Great product

        A must have for every brewery. Soak your kegs with 1 Tbls and 8" of hot water - shake, wait and rinse for sparkling clean results!

        All purpose cleaner does the job

        Mix a batch of this and forget the scrubbing. A carboy full of warm water and PBW will be easily cleaned out after a short soak. I use this for carboys, kegs and bottles with no complaints.

        the *perfect* cleaner

        When you're done brewing you're actually not quite done...makes the clean up easier. Typically brew at night so not done until late; just pop a tablespoon or two into the carboy and finish the next day. No scrubbing needed!

        I've tried oxyclean and others-- I always come back to pbw!

        Best Brewery Clean

        I use this to clean all of my home-brewing equipment and have never had a infected batch. Highly recommended.

        The best cleaner on the face of the planet.

        Breweries all over the US trust PBW, it is literally the standard for CIP.

        Excellent cleaner

        PBW does all the cleaning work for you. I used to scrub with brushes, but that just caused problems by introducing scratches into the surface of what I was cleaning. Now I just soak dirty parts in a proper solution of this and let it sit (longest necessary was overnight, for really tough dirt). Easy. The 1lb tub doesn't ever seem to last as long as I'd like it to, so I usually prefer to get the 4lb'er.

        Can't Imagine Life Without PBW

        This stuff is like magic in a tub. Soaking makes scrubbing obsolete. Does a great job with lines/hoses, pumping through the system after brew day. Just awesome stuff.

        Awesome

        Can't brew without it. Also amazing to use as a household cleaner. Soak your jewelry in it!

        Great stuff

        This is really great stuff and at a good price. Just leave your equipment soaking in the solution for 15 or 20 minutes and then rinse clean. All the debris will be gone

Now I just soak dirty parts in a proper solution of this and let it sit (longest necessary was overnight, for really tough dirt). Easy. The 4lb tub is about right for the average brewer, IMHO.

        Great Cleaner

        This is all I use. I love that it doesn't form the big chunks in the bottom of carboys when cleaning that are a pain to get out. I use it on metal, glass, and plastic.

        What can I say?

        Love, love, love this stuff. Easy to clean out the pipes of my pilot system and know that they are clean. Fabulous on those kitchen pans with baked on crud as well. Makes cleaning up so much easier.

        Hello - can this product be used to clean a home clothes washing machine?  Or a home dishwasher?  I read that hot water and PBW can create pressure, but it did not state NOT to use it.  Thoughts?  And, thank you!
