PBW (Powdered Brewery Wash) is a patented alkali cleaner originally developed for Coors, now widely used in commercial breweries across North America. Use 1 to 2 ounces per gallon for cleaning kettles, 3/4 ounce per gallon for fermenters, kegs, tanks, and other equipment. Soak equipment overnight in PBW solution; rinse the following morning - no scrubbing required! Will not damage rubber gaskets, soft metals, or your skin. PBW can effectively clean items that can't be reached with a brush or sponge, and is strong enough to remove thick, difficult, caked-on organic soils. PBW is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and will not harm septic systems.

Works well to soak off labels from wine bottles Review by Howard
So far I have only used this product to clean wine bottles. I will have to try it on wine making equipment. (Posted on 9/18/13)
Hassle Free, Squeaky Clean! Review by Jay
This stuff works incredibly well. I no longer need to scrub my kettle or carboys for 10-15 minutes. Just a half hour soak and all of the caked on residue is gone, even if you have dry-hopped. A friend of mine used some on a carboy he thought was clean and was shocked by how clear it looked after a 30 minute soak. Highly recommended. (Posted on 9/16/13)
Elbow Grease not needed Review by Jordan
Give your arms a rest and let PBW do the work for you. No more endless scrubbing. Just soak for a while and a pass or two with a brush and your looking pretty good. (Posted on 9/14/13)
Stop scrubbing and try PBW
Stop scrubbing and try PBW out! An over night soak with this stuff will save you ton of time. Way better than bleach or dish soap. (Posted on 9/14/13)
