I have a 5 gallon glass carboy that wasn’t completely cleaned properly after it’s last use (let a friend borrow it) and was left sitting in a garage for some time. It had a lot of caked on gunk left over from the kräusen/yeast sediment/etc. I read that oxyclean and PBW are both good for stuff like that but I couldn’t get my hands on either of them in time for my next batch so I scrubbed it out with dish soap and a carboy brush which got most of the residue out. Still smelled like sweet malt so I scrubbed it with cleaning vinegar.
Well now it’s completely clean except for 5 or so tiny black specks that absolutely won’t come off for anything. Don’t know what they are or where they came from but it almost looks like the brush isn’t even making contact with them as if they’re stuck inside the glass or something. Don’t want to ruin my batch by contaminating it with these black things left in the carboy, don’t know what to do now...help? lol
