"7. Phosphoric Acid 80 % FG
Pack size 5 lt, 25 lt.

This is also used for acid washing a suspectedly infected yeast (but needs re-using) just prior to pitching.

Add the FG PA to about pH 2.2, wait, and pitch. For full details of the washing technique google it up or read the books.

Also its a great rust remover/steel corrosion inhibitor.

It was the basis of all sorts of magic (read expensive) rust removers/inhibitors from the 80's 'n 90's

Given the price of Starsan, VWP, and owt else these are very seriously great prices.

Only trouble is 5L or 5Kg is a heck of a lot for the smaller HB'er

Group buy, multiple suitable containers, heavy gloves!

[Metattron]

I'd be in for a litre.

First rule of group buys is that we don't mention group buys (outside of members only areas).

That peracetic acid sounds like pretty serious stuff. http://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CC4QFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmsds.fmc.com%2Fmsds%2F100000010500-msds_us-e.pdf&ei=MDyuUbv2EomKhQfFyYHoCQ&usg=AFQjCNEgATy0S0BoAjPmKkzsQVWmMJOCNg
