Want an easy way to clean carboys, but don't want another project?
I already used a submersible pump in a bucket to feed my immersion chiller. After seeing some great carboy cleaner set-ups here on HBT, thought I could do that. Stuck a short piece of hose on the end of the pump and used the bucket lid that I already put a hole in to work with my grain mill. Nothing new.
Walk over and rotate the carboy every few minutes and after ten minutes or so it's clean.
Way quicker than soaking and no lifting carboys with OxiClean in them.
Before and after shots from an 8 gallon batch using two five gallon carboys as primaries.
