Powdered Brewery Wash (PBW) is the gold standard for heavy-duty cleaning in the brewing industry. This non-caustic, alkaline cleaner is specially formulated to remove organic soils, burnt-on wort, and protein stains from stainless steel, plastic, and glass. Unlike caustic soda, PBW is safe to handle and won't damage your skin or equipment while still providing an industrial-strength clean. This 50 lb bulk container is the most economical solution for professional breweries and avid homebrewers.

Sanitation Tip: For standard cleaning, use 1-2 oz of PBW per gallon of warm water (100-160°F). For heavy "crust" in kettles or fermenters, allow the solution to soak for 4-12 hours. PBW is highly effective in hard water; ensure you rinse with potable water until all slippery residue is gone before applying your final sanitizer (like Star San).
