that sounds way more expensive than oxiclean. I often fill up my kettle to the brim (~15 gals) and just put in two scoops of oxiclean. if I was using this stuff I'd have to about $10 of product. no way am I using even close to that with oxiclean. maybe I'm way under dosing things - seems to clean stuff just fine though.

It is more expensive than Oxi, but IMO it's a far superior product. Not that Oxi is bad, but this is much better IMO.

The tabs are goo for 3 gal. so that would be 5 tabs. IIRC, 55 tabs sell for $12.99, so you get about 11 uses from a bottle of 55. That works out to about $1 / use.

I don't have time to scrub and I want to make sure things are clean so I pretty much fill up everything and let it soak with some oxiclean.

Take a look....https://craftmeister...nformation.html
more than one tab per 5 gallons seems odd. are you sure about that 3 gallon number?

I do this as well. I have never found it hard to dissolve or rinse oxiclean.

I just boil some water in mine with the cover on and then go over it with a scotch brite pad and all is good in the world.

Yep. I think it's a smart move because you can just use one tab when cleaning smaller volumes and not waste it. Your 15 gal. kettle would take 5 tabs, whihc would cost just over $1.

I am assuming you're talking about a kettle and not a plastic fermentor?

Not particularly, but as someone who's used a LOT of Oxi, I far prefer these. Seem to clean better, too. Not trying to change anybody's mind, just provide what I feel is a great alternative.

Sure, that is what Evil_Morty referenced "I often fill up my kettle to the brim (~15 gals) and just put in two scoops of oxiclean." For my large plastic fermenters I will only use about 5g of water. I then put the cover on and invert it to get the krausen line. Or I throw it on my keg/carboy cleaner and walk away for 10 minutes and come back to a clean fermenter.

Denny, did you clean anything with beer stone on it?
For the most part I keep my stuff really clean and I find a quick wash of the kettle after brewing may occasionally needs some cleaner. I've even had luck using star san in the kettle after I'm done with it. The only cleaning issue I come across is I'll use kegs a number of times and then bulk clean 4 or 5 at a time. I normally use hot oxyclean for this and if this product works good on beer stone that would be worth trying for me.

Ok. But it seems to be a solution for a problem that doesn't exist….at least at my house.

Ah, got it. I don't use Oxi in my kettle. Just in my carboys where they get filled with hot water and a scoop of oxiclean. Never has it failed to get things clean.

I used to only use it on fermenters but then I realized there was stuff that was a real PITA to get off the kettle that oxiclean made quick work of.

Huh, I haven't run into that stuff yet. I would certainly use it if I did.
