I have a 6.5 gallon carboy the I have had for 11 years. It has brewed me some great beers but getting it spotless is a pain in the A$$. Recently, I have noticed a splotchy stain that makes up roughly 1/3 of the carboy's bottom. I can see brush marks contained within the stain (Only when bottom is dry) indicating that at some point I have brushed the bottom of the carboy with a carboy brush. I have tried brushing it again but have only managed to leave what appears to be scratches from my carboy brush around the carboy neck. I tried soaking it in PBW, star san, white vinegar, oxyclean, scrubbing with green scratchy pad and a wash cloth, and nothing is working. Anyone have ideas? I've not noticed any infections through 40+ fermentations with it and maybe I'm being a bit obsessive but I would like it stain free. Any other ideas?
Thanks.
Thanks.
