Rudimentary Tool

Rudimentary Tool

The 5 litre water bottles are excellent to do little and experimental brews in.

After the Turbo Cider Sugar Battle was over i had two bottles

that the normal hot water and shaking could not clean.

(don't worry they also get sanitised properly before use, but i don't like to leave them dirty)

The necks are too small to get more than a finger in and i could

not reach the stuck on sugar and yeast to rub it off.

No problem... i cut a piece of sponge and tried that but had no success, it was to soft and undirectable. Feeling that i might lose my valuable 89p each bottles

i took time out of my busy brewday and had an idea.

I constructed a rudimentary tool out of a long strip of sponge and a

pencil. The pencil allowed me to direct the soft sponge to the affected areas. With a little patience i managed to clean the bottles, finding the cut corners of the sponge the best part to clean with.

Simple objects combined to an effective use, if i was delusional i would produce these clever little tools and try to make a fortune.

"New spongecils - ideal for tricky homebrew cleaning, combine soft surface with rigid control arm and integral recording device"
