Carboy Cleaner

[Shooter]

I like it. I'm too lazy to do the oxy soak...

I know this is an older post, but, too lazy to let something soak?!? Now THAT is lazy!!!

This story is hillarious sir!!!

In hindsight, it is. At the time, I was furious. $20 worth of materials and a $30 carboy down the crapper because I thought saving $10 was a good idea.

The key is the vibration (and I guess balance). The Carboy Cleaner has slightly rigid pads which helps (nothing flapping around out of control) and the rod flexes slightly but NOTHING like my homemade version.

Honestly, the thing's awesome. I friggin' HATE cleaning carboys. I just wish the pads were a wee bit longer so it could reach inside of a sanke. Now THAT would rock.

I tie short strips (about 4") of shammy-like material to the ends of my degasser. Works very well. Still need the brush for the neck, but I can spend the extra 30 seconds with the brush, considering I've cleaned the rest of the carboy in about 60 seconds.
