My lhbs recommends PBW but I've been using oxyclean with great success.

Fill with hot water and a scoop of Oxyclean, walk away, come back an hour later, drain, rinse, top off with starsan, store until you next brew

Well...while many of you have endorsed oxyclean or pbw, Ralph Nader still leading in the polls (something he could only do on HBT, I suppose).

When we're talking about Oxiclean, it's the 3.5 lb bucket of powder, correct? The one you can get at Target, or wherever? Oxiclean has a ton of different versions of their product.

I've never soaked. Hot water and the occasional detergent with a little elbow grease on the carboy brush--- all done immediately after emptying the carboy. Takes just a couple minutes.

PBW cleans everything very well and it never goes bad, no matter how disgusting it looks you can use it again.

I've been using oxyclean and a few hours soak. Two little scoops and fill up the carboy with water. Use the bottle brush to knock the loose grunge ring off (takes no effort after soaking in oxyclean), dump, then rinse a couple of times.
