i need a new carboy cleaner since my last one is getting all ratty from repeat use scrubbing out multiple 15 gal sankes and 12 gal HDPE fermenters. i still cant believe i used to soak those guys with PBW!
Well, i just lost a batch due to using an old brush on my carboy, and it was to soft to really do the job, I use a bottle cleaner like the carboy cleaner pictured, and it works great.
i would love to have a carboy cleaner as it would stop the huge argument in our house everytime i brew... my wife gets awful angry when i grab the baby and have to shove her arm in the carboy to clean the krausen out of the top of the carboy.... she's the only one with hands small enough to get her arm in there!
If you have ever seen a ship in a bottle you will understand why I am now single, my ex-girfriend is at the pet store and I have to take my Chiwawa Carboy to the park twice a day

You know your not a Noobie when you win a Carboy Cleaner to clean your first Better Bottle. (Pst... I need to bottle soon, please send one my way so I clean up easier.)
I think I am the perfect person for one of these free carboy cleaners because I've never even seen one before, neither have any of my brew buddies. I would be the envy of my crew if I could score one.
Jesus, I'll buy the rig if you will just send me some replacement pads. This idea/ product looks to be about the best thing since condoms and penicillin.
My carboys never get as clean as I'd like them to be, mainly because I can't get enough pressure on the flexible brush to "scrub" all the gunk off. That's a wonderful reason to have a more professional tool in my arsenal. Thanks for this kind offer.
As soon as I saw the carboy cleaner a couple of weeks ago I whipped my wallet out and fumbled to my credit card. Then I asked myself "WWWS" (What Would the Wife Say?). After calling and confirming my fear I realized that it would have to wait untill after the holidays...
