So I found an Antique Glass Carboy at a local thrift shop. We are talking the thick almost greenish glass 5 gallon variety. The mouth is about as wide as a wine bottle and roughly 3/4 of an inch thick. Trust me when I say it was not a fun job trying to get a bottle brush inside. Anyway I plan on using this for mead fermentation, my concern though is a rust spot in the bottom of the carboy. I soak the carboy with almost 5 gallons of hot water and Oxiclean for 15 minutes then went to town scrubbing it the best I could with the brush. I refilled the bottle with warm water and Onestep Cleanser (I Have a lot of cleaners) and decided to let it soak over night. The wife suggested a solution of White Vinegar and water as well. Is the carboy a loss to be relegated to decorating my house or can it be saved?
