what amount should I use for my keggle - MLT - kegs - etc?

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Enough to clean

I just wet the surface and sprinkle it on then scrub, scrub, scrub.

Later, I learned on here about Gator Grit wheels and a drill.

I was thinking I would add _ amount to some water and then scrub with that.

Well, it's a powder, so I just use it like Comet or Ajax for when I burn some wort on the stove, or for the outside of stainless. I wouldn't use it on my cooler MLT, or the inside of my brewpot.

Hopefully it doesn't hurt, because it's all I use on the inside of my aluminum brewpot. I know it doesn't remove the oxide layer, it doesn't even take off the sharpie gallon marks I made. I just sprinkle water on the inside and use just enough bkf to make a paste.

+1 Unless I use my Liquid BKF, then I just squirt some on the sponge. Great stuff!

Being that it is Oxalic Acid (and assuming your brewpot is stainless) it's actually a good idea to use it inside. Oxalic acid facilitates passivation of stainless steel and, as you know, passivated steel resists rusting.

Just rinse well.

My brewpot is aluminum, and I've got a nice oxide layer. I don't want to use anything to scratch it, or mess with it. It gets nice and clean just from washing and rinsing right after using it. If I had some kind of gunk or build up, I probably would scrub it.
