With the supplied brushes, I can't seem to get the brush to reach the top of the carboy. Anyone have any advice?
 
put it in the tub with warm water; fill it a little and tip it up-side down. the water on the outside will keep the water inside.

also light a candle and play soft music (we all like a little romance).
 
I usually just fill ny carboy with warm water and put about three or four scoops of oxyclean in it and let it sit overnight. Only rinsing is necessary the next day.
 
+1 on the 90 degree bend in the brush. Works like a charm for me. Best to put it in when it's wet (goes a lot easier).
 
If you have a hose you could work the angles somehow. I have managed to do that before. Or you could fill the carboy full of sanitizer and let it sit over night but the only down side is that it waste some water.
 
I just did my first brew and the brush made quick work of it... 5 minutes and it was spotless
