Can I save PBW water in Cornies?

RonRock · Jul 10, 2009

I tried a search, but too much information and not a straight answer that I could see.

I have a keggle circulating with water and PBW it was clean to begin with so I want to save the solution. Is it safe to save in Corny's? Or is PBW not good for long term storage in SSteel?

I just listened to a Brewing Network Podcast where this exact question was asked of a 5-Star chemical engineer. He didn't recommend it, although he said he'd done it, but using distilled water. Their recommendation was glass for long term.

I was under the impression that the oxygen cleaning aspect of PBW was no longer active after 24hrs (I thought I heard this on the very same Brewstrong podcast)

At the NHC this year, Jon Herskovits from 5 Star Chemical was asked about this....he said he doesn't recommend storing PBW in corny kegs.

He's heard of people doing it without issues, but doesn't recommend it.

I'd switch to Oxyclean. It's so much cheaper, you'll never need to worry about saving / reusing it.
