So I've read that I should clean the top of the fermentor (I'm using 1 gallon glass jugs) after the krausen falls and before I top up. What do I do that with? A bottle brush? Wouldn't that make all that crusty gunk fall into my cider anyway?
Is racking an option now, or is this too early to rack? (It's been about a week since I pitched yeast, and the krausen on some of my batches has reduced to a thin layer of bubbles)
