Is there a sticky or a good post on the amounts of different products for cleaning and sanitizing. For example I use 1 tablespoon od oxiclean per gallon of water. In some posts I have seen people post that they use 1 scoop per gallon. The scoop that came with mine is a half cup and seems like way too much. I just thought it might be some good info if it was easy enough to find.
 
I think you're best bet is on homebrew wiki, you can read about all the different potential products for sanitization.. Cleaning and Sanitation - Home Brewing Wiki

But a heads up,
1. most people will tell you that oxyclean should only be used for cleaning.
2. almost everyone here will tell you to either use idophor or starsan to sanitize (myself included)
 
I agree oxiclean should only be used for cleaning. I was just going for a general topic in my post. Thanks for the tip I will check it out.
