Bringing Sour Back
The seller from whom I got mine is now gone, but these are similar:
Percarbonate $48.90 / 25lbs
https://www.amazon.com/Sodium-Percarbonate-UNCOATED-Min-Purity/dp/B010CEGYN0/
Metasilicate $21 / 5 lbs
https://www.amazon.com/Sodium-Metasilicate-Pentahydrate-Min-Purity/dp/B0762WK8ZR/
(but it's a lot cheaper per pound if you buy 25lbs)
So, it's $2.33/lb with 5lb metasilicate (using 1:5 metasilicate : percarbonate to make math easier) or $2.00/lb with 25lb metasilicate.
PBW is actually on sale at MoreBeer at a super low price today only of $3.06/lb (regularly $4.60/lb) if you buy 50lbs.
I use about 2-3 ounces total for 5-7 gallons. Maybe more or less depending on how dirty the vessel is.
