Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit in a beer bottle?

No, it is made for demijohns. Use the straight Nylon Bottle Brush for beer and wine bottles.

Why is the head bent?

The cranked head follows the curve of the jar, so it reaches the shoulders and base of a demijohn that a straight brush cannot touch properly.

What should I clean the demijohn with?

Use a cleaner such as VWP with the brush and rinse well, then sanitise with ChemSan before filling.
