Clean Bottle Express Carboy Brush for Cleaning Carboys/Corny Kegs

This works great for normal duty on five- and six-gallon carboys. For heavy duty, I had an airlock blowoff a few weeks ago and cleaning up after it was a nightmare, but after two rounds of soaking and this thing (plus a drill brush for the outside) it was grain-free in a few days. If you’re not spinning fast enough it can bind up, but you learn pretty quickly just to reverse it and always keep the hammer down. The construction is quality for the price, especially since it’s cheap enough that I would just buy another one every six months.

Had some Yeast remains stuck to the top of my glass carboy that I just couldn't clean with regular brushes. It ended drying as I had to move for a new job and just didn't have the time to take care of it. Well after a brief soak i dropped this in and cleaned 98% of the amount I struggled so hard to clean before. Soaking again to get it ready to finish the job. This tool is spectacular and makes the chore or cleaning the carboy a bit less thereof. This is at the top of my list for gifts to give to my other friends who homebrew now.4 of 5 given on ease of use because as some others have pointed out it can coil up if you press it too far too one side or start running at too high of a speed. Even when coiled you can get it to clean it just doesn't do so with as satisfying of a look.

Works well, despite what others say. Grips well in the chuck of a drill. Wouldn't use in anything smaller than 3 gallon glass jugs.

Others have posted about it "wobbling" too much. That is true if you don't follow the directions to "start slow and use short bursts with the drill". If you follow those directions it works like a champ and easily cleans the inside of my 5 and 6 gallon carboys.

Upon receiving the brush, I thought it was going to be way too big for my intended use for 64oz carboys/growlers. To my surprise, the brush pretty easily fit into a carboy of this size and was able to be used as intended for cleaning. I didn’t have a drill on hand at the time, but I just spun the brush back and forth between my hands which worked pretty well, I imagine using this with a drill would also work and be a little simpler though I was very satisfied with how this brush performed the way I used it, can definitely recommend!

I've used this 3 times on a glass and once on a keg and it really does make it much easier and quicker than using the wire brushes.

I purchased one of these brushes over a year ago to clean my 5 gallon water jugs. I have been very pleased with the product, and it has held up over this past year. I use it approximately every 2-3 weeks, so it has definitely seen some use. This is the proper way to clean your jugs, and it will save you a lot of time.

My purchased item was shipped in two soft sided envelopes that had been taped end to end. The cleaning rod is made from a hard plastic material. The envelopes used offered zero protection from breakage or warping. I would NEVER recommend anyone buying from this manufacturer. I needed this item to clean some carboys for a customer with a deadline for accomplishing. The bent rod I received could only be used at minimal rpms which equates to being 85% useless.
