I am about to secondary ferment in a 6.5 gallon glass carboy for the first time. The carboy is brand new from a kit.
What do you recommend, chemical and process wise, for cleaning it for the first time? I have a milk crate to handle it, but was wondering about using PBW, vs oxy-clean, etc.
I have a carboy brush, but am wondering if I should siphon the cleaning liquid out, replace with water and repeat a few times, or find a way to turn it upside down (like in the bath tub with towels laid down) to make it easier and have a more effective rinse.
After reading the horror threads on glass this thing scares me.
