Not being in the brewing industry anymore, I no longer have access to some of the necessities that I was used to using...namely chlorinated caustic. I do however have access to Red Devil Lye and chlorine bleach, etc.
2 grams anhydrous Lye in 100ml water gives me a 2% caustic solution.
If I wanted to build my own chlor-caustic, how much of a typical 5% Bleach solution (ie Clorox) would I need in that 100 ml. I'm not sure of the percentage of chlorine that was in the built product I was using (Loeffler)
Also, what would/should I use as a wetting agent, or will I need one.
Thanks
