Hi everyone,
I got a beer kit for Christmas, and I'm getting ready to bottle my first batch. Excited! I've been lurking this forum for a few weeks now, and I appreciative all those who share their knowledge. Kudos to you.
I have a cleaning question. Once I bottle my batch, I'm going to be left with a dirty 5 gallon carboy.
- What cleaning product/cleanser do you recommend, and why?
- To clean the carboy, do you fill the entire carboy with water then add the cleanser? If so, how much cleanser do you add per gallon? If you don't fill the carboy to the top with water, what method do you use?
- How long do I leave the water+cleanser in the carboy?
- I have a carboy brush, is it a pain in the arse to clean the inside of the carboy with the brush? Is there a better way?
Thanks everyone!
