What is the candle to grain ratio? Have also heard this before.. I have an issue with my fishing bait ingredients, also read about this. What I did do was freeze the ingredients, that also helps kill anything that might be present. I also don't really mind the extra protein, but yeah not sure if that will be acceptable in the beer circles.. yeasties and some goggas to taste. -
Just tell them it's a traditional brew. The gogga's add an umami flavour and nicely rounds out the bitterness from the hops.Comment

Random small questions
I have searched the forum and web, couldn’t find anything.
Can someone please tell me how to use caustic soda to clean my urn. Just use rubber gloves?
Read somewhere it will kill/remove proteins/tannins if present. Cant find that anymore
Or is there a better option that won’t try to kill me while cleaning?

A very precise 1 candle per vessel. But obviously vessel size needs to be carefully sized at between 1L and 50LOriginally posted by PaBz0r View PostCheers,

I never use caustic on my urn. I spray it off with a pressure washer and occasionally scrub it down with a nylon abrasive pad. Caustic attacks various metals aggressively, and will completely destroy softer alloys and cast iron. I only use caustic soda to clean my fermenters and my stainless steel kegs.Originally posted by HAP-BR3W View Post
Also be very careful of any detergents that aren't meant for brewing as they will leave a residue that will affect the beer flavour.
Since your urn runs between 70 and 100 degrees, there are very few nasties that stay behind as long as you rinse the urn and the tape IMMEDIATELY after brewing.Comment

Thanks, will avoid caustic, probably better to avoid getting injured. Going to try the PBW from Y-Clean on all my equipment.Originally posted by jakeslouw View Post
When you say tape, do you mean tap?

I've been advised and have been using Sodium Percarbonate for cleaning my ss kettle. It works .. but rather slowly.
btw .. sodium percarb .. is that the same as washing soda?
Let me google...
EDIT:
"The chemical formula for washing soda is Na2CO3 or sodium carbonate. It's a salt of carbonic acid, a chemical that produces a wide range of salts collectively known as carbonates."
"Sodium percarbonate is a chemical substance with formula Na2H3CO. It is an adduct of sodium carbonate ("soda ash" or "washing soda") and hydrogen peroxide (that is, a perhydrate) whose formula is more properly written as Na2CO3H2O. It is a colorless, crystalline, hygroscopic and water-soluble solid. It is sometimes abbreviated as SPC. It contains 32.5% by weight of hydrogen peroxide."
there you have it.
Sodium percarbonate is washing soda mixed with hydrogen PERoxide.
