I was given a 60 year old glass carboy that has been in a basement for most of that time. It is pretty nasty. What is the best way to clean it?
Thanks!

Hot water, soap, and a carboy brush. I cleaned a dirty 50 year old one. You just have to buy the brush.

I have put 4oz of household bleach in, filled it with water and let it soak for a couple of days. Then I siphon the water out so I don't splash it on anything and rinse the carboy with a jet bottle rinser.

Ive been using cipton, local brew store might have it thats where I got mine. I would use hot water soap and some grease, elbow grease that is.

Toss it off a second story balcony and then go buy a better bottle.
I second this method.
I third this method.
PBW then make sure you order a carboy hauler. One slip and it could be a very bad issue for you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Sheee-itt. If you consider following this advice, tell me first! I'll take it. I have a couple of 40 year old carboys and I believe they totally improve the flavor of the beer.
PBW soak 24 hrs. Brush scrub. Dump, rinse, forget.
