It seems most bottle brushes I can find have tips ranging from lackluister to downright nonexistant. The area of the bottle I most want to scrub is the bottom so I'm looking for a bottle brush that has a goddamn porcupine stuck on the tip. Heres a pic of my current brush showing a flat tip which doesnt do much on the bottom of the bottle..... |

I brewed my first batch 1.5 weeks ago and in anticipation of bottling in the next week, I bought my first two cases of bottles. I quickly found that the "bottle brush" that came in my brewing kit doesn't even fit inside the mouth of the bottles. Not a big deal for these new bottles, just a quick cleaning with PBW and a rinse, then sanitation on bottling day, but I also need to find a brush to clean them once they've actually been used. |

I’m right there with you on needing good brushes. I’m going to have to try the “bend the tip” option. I just finished bottling 33 750ml bottles of apple wine and washing the bottles before hand sucks with the brush I have. I have been just jamming the bottle into the corner as I spin the bottle, holding the brush to get into the edge. My hand doesn’t like it, but it works on the toughest residue in the bottles. Normally I soak the bottles full of water for 24-48 hours after they are emptied so it is much simpler to wash before processing the next batch. |
