Five Star PBW – Powdered Brewery Wash

Safe, Powerful, and Trusted by Brewers Everywhere

Five Star PBW (Powdered Brewery Wash) is the go-to cleaner for serious brewers who demand efficiency, safety, and versatility. This non-caustic, environmentally friendly cleaner is tough on grime but gentle on your brewing gear. Whether you’re cleaning fermenters, bottles, pumps, or hoses, PBW delivers exceptional results without harming stainless steel or plastics.

Used extensively in commercial breweries, home breweries, and right here at Terminal City Brewing, PBW is what we rely on to keep our brewhouse, kegs, and bottles spotless. It works incredibly well on dried-on residues and stubborn buildup, even in hard-to-reach places.

Key Features:

• Safe for Stainless & Plastic: Will not damage stainless fermenters, PET fermenters, bottles, or food-safe tubing.

• Do Not Use with Soft Metals: Avoid using PBW on brass, copper, or aluminium.

• Highly Effective in Warm or Cold Water: Dissolves best in warm water, but still performs in cold—ideal for soaking bottles or kegs.

• No Gloves Required: Skin-safe and gentle enough for bare hands.

• Versatile Use Cases: Cleans everything from carboys and kegs to heat exchangers, beer lines, and counterflow chillers.

Directions for Use:

• General Cleaning: Mix 7–14g per litre of warm water (1–2 oz per gallon).

• Soaking Bottles & Equipment: Use warm water if available. Cold water works for long soaks or light buildup. Allow 10–30 minutes for best results.

• Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.

Whether you’re cleaning up after a brew day or prepping bottles for your next batch, PBW gets the job done right. It’s the same cleaner we trust in-house—and that says a lot.
