ok, I had big problems cleaning my carboys, I used a brush, but I had problems reaching some parts, and it was killing me...
my last beer had huge krauzen that left huge dried yeast ring all along the carboy neck.
I was thinking how to clean this stuff because even brush was very weak and I didn't have a good grip, so I thought it's gonna be impossible...
then I did the following. I took some quartz sand which is used in gardening a lot for decorating gardens. I toss it in the carboy, added some dish washing solution and shook the carboy...
oh my god!
this thing was sooooo efficient! my carboy looked brand new and shiny in a minute.
I will never use a brush again!
the sand looks like this
