Carboy brush is a PITA..cant touch the sides of carboy

beerbeerbeer123 · Feb 1, 2013

Problem solved ..Took my dumb ass long enough..I just bent the brush to a 90 degree angle then bent the wire handle part and i was able to reach the side of the carboy..Needless to say im getting that carboy cleaner thing with the drill..carboy brushes suck

I find a carboy brush to be a PITA..I tryed bending it to scrub the sides of the carboy but the damn thing is useless..How do get it to actually clean the carboy sides?..Yeah its a pathetic question but an issue i have been dealing with..If anyone has some carboy brush tips..please let me know

Search says: Soak using Oxyclean, just like bottles.

I did an IPA in the left carboy and a 90 point chocolate stout in the right. This shot was right after I racked both brews.

And this shot was taken a couple of hours later after two tablespoons of scent-free Oxyclean in warm water (~120°F) had done its thing.

Spotless glass. No brush needed...

Cheers!

I use better bottles and have never had the need to brush them. Hot PBW/Oxi-Clean does it every time.

What was your concentration?

Line 2(I guess its 2 tbsp) on the scooper to the brim of the 6.5g carboy

Stupid question... But are you sure you are using a carbon brush and not a bottle brush? I do the soak thing, but occasionally I'll get something I want the brush for. Reaching all sides and the bottom isn't really a problem though...
