Just wondering how you all prep a brand new carboy. Is it necessary to clean it with something like PBW or is a nice rinse with hot water all it needs?
Warm water...dont shock it with hot water, you will cause it to crack. Then just sanitize with starsan or whatever you use before you put anything in it. No need to use PBW on a new carboy. It should be just filled with dust from the cardboard or insulation used in shipping.

I did a short oxiclean soak with mine. Maybe that's unnecessary, but why take a chance?
Aw, c'mon... Hot water won't crack it. Unless you just pulled it from your freezer.
