Batch of bottles - mouths too small for bottle brush

[scottyb332]

Anyone run into this?

Bought 2 cases of new bottles from a local homebrew shop. I was impressed with the weight and quality of the bottles... until after using them once and going to clean them.

The extra thickness of the glass makes the mouths of these bottles too small for my bottle brush to fit. Bought another bottle brush. Same issue. It isn't the bristles themselves, its the metal knots at the end of the brushes and the bristles combined that wont fit.

Sounds trivial but it makes cleaning tough.

I have had this problem, I used a pliers to squeeze down the knot, it worked OK.
