Hi,
I'm wondering if any chemists out there could give me a hand.
In Palmers "How To Brew" he recommends the cleaners "Straight A" and "Powder Brewery Wash".
He also states that they contain sodium metasilicate and sodium percarbonate.
I've got myself some pure sodium percarbonate and my local home brew store sells sodium metasilicate as "Brewers Detergent".
I'm guessing that I would only use a small amount of sodium metasilicate (compared to sodium percarbonate) to act as a surfactant, but I'm no expert.
So cutting to the chase:
Does anyone have any ideas on the amount of sodium percarbonate and sodium metasilicate I should add to each litre of water?
Cheers!!!!
