---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 13:11:46 -0800 (PST) From: Calvin Perilloux <calvinperilloux at yahoo.com> Subject: Chlorine dioxide sources Karl, I take it the "camping tablets" that Northern Brewer sells are not what you're looking for with chlorine dioxide? (Those tabs are $8.50 for 20. Same stuff as REI sells, I think.) Is there a reason those won't work for you? I ask because that's one of the sanitizing agents that I haven't fooled with at all, so I'm not familiar with why the camping tabs aren't desirable. Perhaps because they're not pure sodium chlorite but instead contain the cyanuric-acid-related disinfectant as well? Friends of mine have used these tablets for yeast-washing, though, so they do work for at least that. If all you want is the sodium chlorite powder in non-pallet quantities, maybe a Google search of some "MMS" quack sites can help you. Nope, I don't know what MMS is, other than some alleged cure for anything that ails ya, but there is perhaps a reasonable chance that you can get sodium chlorite from them, since that's the "cure" that they sell. Whether the flake/powder form is of a reasonable purity, who knows, but perhaps there is a reasonably simply way to check that yourself -- or refer to the equipment-required process described in "EPA method 327.0".
