i would love one of these due to the fact that if i get spayed in face with yeast and chunks from taking that damned brush out of the carboy again i don't know what i'm gonna do!
I sat on Santa's lap and asked if his elves would come clean my dirty carboys for me, alas they have not shown up yet, I can only hope to be a lucky winner of one of your carboy cleaners instead!
I'm new to this 'brew-your-own' hobby and have yet to use the beautiful glass carboy given to me by my wine-making father. I'm 3 batches in and have used the plastic fermentation buckets exclusively as I'm concerned w/ cleaning this glass jug. Winning your tool will allow me to put this carboy into operation for the 2nd generation in our family. My eyes are tearing up just thinking 'bout it.
The first time i tried to clean a carboy i put it in the dishwasher and forgot to take off heat dry my 5 gallon is now 4.2 gallon save me from myself!!!!!!!
Look what i had to add to my crapy brush wand!! I started w/ cutting the top of the handel off, then had to re-bend the bottom. After a spin with the drill this week I could still see lines in the glass (not really clean after 10 mins of the drill). Then I added plastic scrubby pad to the end, my brother brewers still laughing at me. It felt like I was going to crack the neck of the carboy when I pulled my DIY special out. The Carboy Cleaners look like they put my DIY cleaner to shame, but can it really clean better than this???
One Liner: Why re-construct your crapy brush wand when you can get it done right with a real "Carboy Cleaner".
I am a medical student with much to learn and little time to brew, and having a carboy cleaner would = shorter brew days = more time to study = a smarter future doctor to take care of YOU! (Surgeon general says I need a carboy cleaner for the good of your health)
My wife says I need to spend more time with her for some reason, but I need to clean my carboys. If I had a "Carboy Cleaner" I would no longer have to choose, I could do both. Please save my marriage, think of the children.
A young hero of the homebrewing order was walking through a forest of carboys; carboys in which this young hero fermented high gravity beers with nottingham yeast in. Oh the krausen, the dried krausen mocked him so. He would bravely taketh these carboys of glass to the faucet of flowing water and in the process nearly drop one. The young hero would sweat and sigh- knowing he was but inches from slicing his fingers off.
Once he fillithed the carboys with the sacred water he would add a big scoop of the mysterious powder of oxycleaness. The young hero would then raise his not so mighty weapon high into the air- the curved brush of krausen busting- and he would drive it deep into the filthy carboys. The brave hero would fight valiantly against the krausen- but alas that krausen was tough and would not give up easily.
After a long, back killing and tiring battle the krausen would have one last laugh! As the hero withdrew his weapon of necessity- not of choice- the carboy with sprayeth the hero with its caustic blood. The hero would curse and cry out- this blood would smell horrible and it would burn his eyes. Meanwhile his brush would dribble all over his kitchen floor.
I need this cleaner so that I can have more free time to drink more beer. That, and it would be really fun smacking my brewing buddies up side the head with it when wet.
