I'd be keen on a bag to split 50% with someone of sod_met as well, if possible to include in this bb Mick?technobabble66 said:Are we looking to get a few bags of sodium metasilicate as well?
Ideally we should be mixing a 2:1 ratio of perc:metasilicate (from memory), to more closely resemble PBW
pretty sure that is 3:1DJ_L3ThAL said:I'm keen on say 10kgs of met, running out of that. I do have a full bag of perc from the last buy though which I'm about to open.
I use a ratio of 4:1, more specifically 1tbs perc and 1tsp met is what I use for 5L of water as my cleaner for everything.
Trust me, I'm an engineer :chug:Black n Tan said:pretty sure that is 3:1
Yep. I stand corrected. BnT is right (sorry, deej [emoji1]).Black n Tan said:pretty sure that is 3:1

I've scaled the original recipe in brewmate earlier, today og looks close enough... Will update hop schedule I think. Condensing the 0, 10 & 30 into a single 20 might be a bit much, will push out a version with fwh, 20, 0 & cube. Also adjusted hop aa% for what clever brewing are currently stocking.
It's only taken 10+ days... but hey, I've finally got back to the recipe. RE higher bittering with long whirlpools... yep, makes sense. So... I've dropped the plan for the zero min addition, but moved the 20 to a 10 min addition. Moved more of the hops to cube... at the worst you'll get a hoppier beer if you are cubing late.technobabble66 said:All good. Fwiw, keep in mind there's the fwh, 40min plus cube hops as a 20min, so there's a bit of a spread in that sense.
Also keep in mind that the whirlpool generally has been for ~1 hr or more (those damn thermals!) so lots of late additions can unpredictability blow out the bittering. And the last half of the cubes can end up with a fair few more IBUs. All manageable but just needs to be considered, is all.
My comment to DJ was simply to point out that mixing 1Tbsp (ca 15mL) Perc and 1tsp (ca 5mL) Met is a 3:1 ratio not 4:1. In the end I tend to use a 2:1 ratio as it is closer to the 70% Perc/30% Met cited on other sites for PBW. In the end we are bucket scientists and whether it is 2:1 or 3:1 is probably not material.technobabble66 said:Yep. I stand corrected. BnT is right (sorry, deej [emoji1]).
3:1 ratio of perc:metasil
From Yob's BB in '13:
"3 parts sodium perc + 1 part Sodium met make a backyard PBW, if you are interested in making near to exact PBW, have a search through my old BB's, Wolfy posted the relevant information back then. Personally I find the simple mix ample to clean my brewing gear."
