I coud use this carboy cleaner because I almost lost a limb this weekend with my drill powered carboy brush accident. Rule number 1 "Beer and powertools make a dangerous "yet highly entertaining story" combination"
I'm a relatively new brewer (about 1 year) and I'd love a good carboy cleaner for my PET plastic carboys instead of using the "old dirty sock on a glass carboy cleaner" method i've been using...
I need a carboy cleaner to give to my friend who thinks its ok to use his carboy even though it has residue from the last 5 batches caked on the sides and top. "I rinsed it with star san! ITS FINE!"
I figure my response will either be competitive or will get me banned (maybe both!)... Well here goes:
While spritzing flowery-smelling water on your tender "lady parts" may be sufficient to get THEM clean, a carboy needs something a little more vigorous!
My post-fermentation carboys are MUCH dirtier than (most) "lady parts", so I'd love to have something as cool as a Carboy Cleaner®!
Thank you for stimulating the economy. If I got a free keg cleaner, I would stimulate the economy too and buy a couple more kegs, you see I ferment in them and cleaning them would be super easy. I would promote your product on my Flickr beer making photo stream too...
The weef gets a li'l pi$$y when i tie up the sink cleaning my stuff. BUT! with a new carboy cleaner, i can take my time cleaning and let her see my joy and rapture of using this fine product.... i know, it's a little thing, but its annoying... ..
I have come down to two options for cleaning my carboys. First is to run some plumbing and put a big deep sink in my basement so that I can actually clean the carboys out of the way and let them soak or ... win one of them there spiffy carboy cleaners and take a fraction of the time and effort. Not to mention saving myself some greenbacks.
In the tune of "Fresh Keg of Bel-Air" (Theme song)
Now, this is the story all about how
A dirty sanke keg got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sip a beer
I'll tell you how I became the cleanest keg of a town called Bel Air
In a home brewery filled and raised
In a keg chiller was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And shootin some CO2 outside of my airlock
When a couple of blue pads
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little scruff and my brew master got thrilled
He said 'Your grime is movin' out with the traub down the drain!'
-- Started brewing in Sanke kegs.... reallllly need a better way to clean them!
I would like to get a carboy cleaner because I an new to brewing and the brush that I have sucks and I love to test and give feedback on new equipment.
