Anyone used a bottle washer?

Post by OldEvan »

Hi everyone,

Im having a really hard time cleaning the old yeast off of the bottom of some longnecks I picked up, and came across this on the internet.

Jet Bottle Washer: Attaches to your faucet, this device delivers a blast of water to clean bottles and carboys. A durable brass construction ensures that this product will last a long time. The garden hose fitting connects easily to a utility sink. A faucet adapter (sold separately) is needed to connect to your kitchen sink.


Has anyone used one of these (or something like it), and how did it work for your longnecks? Thanks :)

I use one that's very similar and I've found it to be great. A little bit of water and a shake around as soon as you've finished drinking the bottle makes the yeast budge rather easy as well

I got a cheap hose attachment from the Bunnings that has a "jet" selection (1 of 5) that does the job. Not as flash or as quick as Yardy's though.
'cause I love that dirty water!
