Take alot of notes. Every system is different (heat loss from HLT to MLT, ect.). Learn from every mistake. Bigger system equals bigger problems. Always keep a set of tools near by. And have a good game plan. And wait until your wort is cooling before having a homebrew! Good luck!

Yes, i did scrub it then rinsed with cool water. I have not sanitized it yet. I will try the water and vinegar. Thanks

I got an older carboy from a friend that was real dirty. So i cleaned it with oxy clean, and it hazed up the glass really bad on the inside. I have never had this happen with my other carboys, is it ruined? Why would it do this?
