How much is needed to make standard (10% I believe) vinegar?

I am not sure. I always just estimate. I am allergic to sulfites and found out powdered vinegar has none. This product has been a godsend.

I am unsure. I am not planning on diluting it. The website might have some info. ? Good luck.

A little vinegar works well. Just wash/rinse well afterwards before refilling.

I do not know about white vinegar. I use a commercial product called "Lumen Cleaner and Descaler". It comes in a crystal powder. I simply fill the tank half full of water, add two spoon fulls of the powder, stir well and let it sit for a few days. Then repeat process if scale is very bad. Works well but slowly.

I would probably say 1 tbsp. That's what I use and that is more than enough.

run a pot of 50/50 water and vinegar. I understand that this is the best way to clean scale from the water tank and the tubing and keep the coffeemaker running properly.

Sure is OK to use. That is what white vinegar for human consumption is - 5% acetic acid. It works because it is an acid that reacts with the Calcium Carbonate scale, and is perfectly safe to drink as well.

I used about 1 T of vinegar with the water. You need to read my review before making a purchase. I have had one defective SI-70 and two defective BS-20's and have been waiting weeks for my fourth replacement. Think long and hard before making this purchase. I've purchased a new brand which I feel isn't built as nice as the Haan but it heats much hotter and it works!!! Hope this helps.

Well, I use about 5 tbsp. of my homemade vanilla extract which is made from vodka and it works fine, takes about an hour to make a batch. I hope this helps in your decision.

I agree with the vinegar solution - I do dilute mine to about 50-50. However, I can taste the vinegar afterwards, so I run a couple of water only cycles after the vinegar to finish up.

1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar. Fill it to the top and turn on the steamer. Let it run completely through. It worked for me once, since then not much luck. I had to throw it out.

I have heard a water-vinegar solution is good to run through to de-lime or otherwise clean. Have never needed to do so don't know for sure.

We got a special sprayer, also from Amazon, so the amount of the vinegar mixture was evenly distributed. Hope that helps!

3 grams per tablespoon with grape being the "sugar" content. Good buy and just as good as the trendy stores where you pay much more to get a seasoned vinegar.

My experiance is that in the long run vinegar does not kill the plant. It turns brown, wilts, and in a week to 10 days the plant is backIt cost me $250 and three applications to find that out

Each year I make about 6 quarts using 2 packs but I also add about a quart of brandy to up the alcohol content and 2 quarts of plain apple cider. Very tasty.

vinegar is what i use....... depending upon how often you use the machine i would say run vinegar thru once a month or every 2 to 3 months.

A lot. I don't know an exact amount because we make lots of small batches but it will last a long time unless you make a giant pot.
