Hi all....can anyone tell how much PBW I would need to clean a corny keg? I was going to let it soak for an hour or so. Thanks

Long time PBW user, recently turned Oxy user. Why don't you use Oxy on your CFC?

Aren't they both pretty much just sodium percarbonate?
Ricand said:I use a 70/30 mix of Oxyclean and the TSP substitute (metasulfite?) that Ubermick recommended. Works really well and far better than Oxy alone. Before I started making this stuff, I did a test on two better bottles that had really bad dried on krausen from an extended dry hop. This was PBW vs Oxyclean, and there was absolutely no comparison. The PBW melted the ring away in 10-15 minutes, the Oxy I kept swirling and shaking until the next day. Gave up and finished cleaning it with PBW. I haven't had a chance to test the Oxy/TSP recipe above yet.
Any chance to test this out yet?
