I hate scrubbing the dried yeast/krausen out of my fermentor so much that I often just seal it up and leave it for a week or two till I can't put it off anymore. I've filled it with hot water and pbw before and let it soak overnight which makes cleaning a breeze but that's a waste of 12+ gal of water anda lot of pbw so I'm not really into that.
Anyways, I heard about Marks carboy/keg washer on this site and figured I'd use a little of my tax return $ to get one. It came yesterday and I used it after transfering beer out of my Sabco fermentor - best $100 I've ever spent I think! In 20 minutes, with about a gal and a half of hot water and and ounce and a half of pbw my fermentor was almost completely spotless. I had a tiny bit of krausen that came right off with a quick pass of a cleaning brush. I ordered a cip ball from Brewers Hardware that I think will target the sides a little better so I'm hoping I wont even have to do that next time. Plus I was able to do other stuff while the washer was washing
Just thought I'd share in case anyone was thinking of getting one of these or didn't know about them. They're definitely worth it in my book.
