Rinsing Oxi

[svenito]

Just to throw this in here, but I've found the warmer the water, the less residue; in fact a single rinse will do it of the original oxi solution is hot water tap hot, if you see what I mean.

Could well be. The residue incident happened when I left the bottles overnight. So the water cooled. The last batch I did while the water was still warm.

Top tip!

Maybe someone knows the chemical composition of PBW and we can get the ingredients on eBay. I believe it is the same stuff as Grainfather cleaner which I have here.

Hi!
One of the ingredients is this - £30 per lb - PBW is probably cheaper in the long run.

Sod it, I only brew once a month, I will just use PBW off the shelf from now on.

Have a look at the first post in this thread. I know it's anecdotal but if true then a tub of PBW would last me at least a year.

I found this too, so bottling day was a lot quicker, after submerging them in warm oxi (which it recommends warm anyway) and draining them, I dunked them in tap water then straight into a ten second dunk of starsan. bottles nice and clear ready for the brew

I've recently been using Oxi to clean my gear but find it leaves a slippery, soapy coating. So I rinse and rinse, then use a little Starsan, then rinse and rinse some more.

This works but is a massive PITA.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I don't think you need the rinse after starsan. if its still slippery use warmer water to rinse.starsan goes a long way but youd be going through it a lot quicker if using it twice for each batch.
