Clarity Ferm 1 vial per 5-7Gals BS

Post by jimboh » Wed Feb 21, 2018 9:12 pm

I don't know if this subject has been discussed before but, I was intrigued by the information on the White labs site that stated the dosage for Gluten reduction is 12ml per BBL.
I contacted white labs and posed the question was there any difference in the contents of the 10ml Vial compared to that supplied in a 1 Litre container (that was to be used at this dosage).

The answer was that the contents and the concentration is the same. So a 10ml vial should be good for .833 of a BBL. So no need to add 2 vials to a 10G batch or even a 20G batch. They don't specify for smaller batches but the maths would say you only need around 4ml for a 10G batch.

I got a quote from White Labs for a Litre and its $46 USD ($60CAD) + shipping.

We can order it special from our well known LBS for $100L and it is supposed to be a years shelf life I believe if kept refrigerated.

Thats enough to do 83 1BBL batches.
I am now adding a 10ml vial to every brew because my wife is coeliac and its easier than making special beers just for her.

I still have 6 vials left but would be happy to buy a liter and split the cost with a number of fellow brewers. Anyone interested?

If it is $100 for a litre I would probably be interested.

Looks like $25 +hst each for 250ml then. Enough for 21 BBl.
Unless there are any more takers?

1 Have placed an order for 1 litre. In the meantime I will see if I can find some 250ml plastic bottles to buy.

Awesome, thanks man! This seems way more economical than the $7 vials.

Would you guys be interested in doing something similar with PBW? Or some other stainless cleaner?

One of the members was selling it by the pound on the classified sections a while back. he bought 55lb I believe. Previous to that someone on kijiji was selling a nearly full 55lb container, not sure if was one and the same.

I have been using baby oxyclean(basically unscented) from walmart. But might be interested if it works out cheap enough.

Perhaps I should quote this thread etc under the group buy and classified threads. No sure if there is any issue with double posting.

How much are you looking to sell and where are you located?

PBW from NG is $250 - 10% brewnosers discount +hst. So $258.75 or $5.17 a lb.
I would be willing to do 10lb so need buyers for the other 40lb.

Sorry Gam, I missed your post. If you are doing the splitting and bagging individual 1lbs then I can understand a markup. Maybe if you did a better deal for 10Lbs I might be tempted.
I should have bought the tub on Kijiji, that was a steal but at the time I wasn't using that much.
Scott perhaps a post on Group Buys?
What about Star San? is that available by the gallon I wonder?

Hey Sandy would you be willing to do 10lbs for $55? It seems both Jim and I would like 10lbs each. Completely understandable if you don’t want to sell that much (20lbs total) etc. Just let me know and if not maybe we can arrange a group buy between a few guys.

The 1Litre container of Clarityfirm arrived at Noble Grape Burnside today. Unfortunately I was in Dartmouth today and didn't get the message until I got home. I generally only get in once a week at most
I can pick it up next time I am in, maybe next week.
I will look for some 250ml bottles in the meantime..... Unless anyone is in a hurry and wants to collect/pay for it and arrange the split in the meantime.

Picked it up today and 4 x 300ml travel bottles from a dollar store.
Total cost inc brewnosers discount = $94.60
So $23.65 each for 250ml.
I am out on the Eastern shore but get into Dartmouth maybe once a week. Was in today so not again this week.
I plan to split into the four small bottles unless any/all of you prefer to split at the meet.
Let me know your thoughts.
Enough to treat 125 Corny kegs full at 12ml/bbl. Thats 19c per 5G. Sweet.

Haha awesome stuff! Thanks for picking up the bottles etc, I'm cool with you splitting it, in fact I'd appreciate it. Would you prefer cash at the split or an e-transfer? I'm in Dartmouth so just let me know when you're in the neighbourhood and I can meet you.
