Question: Other useful cleaning equipment we carry…
Answer:

Airlock brush: Perfect for those 3-piece airlocks when beer or wine has worked it’s way into the chamber.

The spray wand hooks up to your laundry sink faucet (or any internally threaded faucet with the faucet adapter) as a water source. Midwest does not recommend using very hot water with this product so as not to damage it. Double Blast Bottle Washer: Much like the jet bottle washer except more efficient.

Question: What kinds of cleaning equipment does Midwest carry?
Answer:

We have several products to help you when it comes time to clean up your bottles, carboys and airlocks. The most common cleaning equipment we arm our customers with are the carboy brush, the bottle brush, and the jet bottle washer. The carboy brush is specially designed to scrub the hard-to-reach sides of your carboy. This feature is invaluable, especially when using glass carboys as your primary fermenter, as the krausen leaves a lot of proteins clinging to the sides. The bottle brush is exactly what you’ll need to prepare for bottling day. Finally, the jet bottle washer is a great way to rinse your bottles and carboys. You’ll need the optional faucet adapter if your faucet has internal threads. It carries a life-time guarantee and conserves water, too!...Click to Read full Answer
