Got mine at walmart. Real cheap, somewhere around $2.50 for a container.
Prost!

Thanks! I will have to go grab some this weekend. Didn't want to have to pay more in shipping than the product cost.

after every session I try to get my vessels looking brand new, inside and out!

buy the mega-pack of green scrubbies. I wish I could get barkeepers friend in bulk. I recommend getting yourself some plastic or latex gloves for cleaning, too. The chemicals can slowly cause damage to your hands that you don't notice because they are wet the whole time.

BTW, I believe that Doc, Jamil, and/or Rock Candy has suggested that you do NOT go to town with the green scrubbies on your stainless gear. They make white ones that are not as abrasive. That's what I use. So far, I have not found anything that did not come off with a warm PBW soak and the white scrubbies.

Amen to the gloves. I wear them through much of the brew day to prevent burns and chemical damage. Nice Butyl elbow gloves...

I picked up Bar Keepers Friend at my local grocery store, which happens to be King Soopers, owned by Kroger.

I am going to run out today and see what I can find. I am also going to get my mash tun put together this weekend and will be ready to brew again here soon.

Prost!
