Put a bit of KY Jelly around the rim then the funnel would slide in.

I'm lucky enough to work at a hospital, where I sterilize my equipment in our giant autoclaves.

Wish I would have watched this sooner and I would have joined you when you brewed. But seeing the popularity of HBW it takes me up to 3 days to see all the videos. Which by the way is fantastic!! Happy HBW to ya, Cheers

Hm, I think most carboys wouldn't have a problem taking the thin side of that funnel. If it came with a filter that fits inside the funnel, I would not use that. The mesh is way too fine and it always gets clogged in my experience. Cheers!

Procrastination = empty bottles Jake....... Get BREWING =]

I have the same big funnel. You can't use it without having someone hold it.

Just purchased some Star San for the first time and used to sanitize all my gear / bottles last week. While it seems fairly expensive, it's really not: considering the fact that you can reuse one OZ of it for at least a dozen brews! .. Just mix up an OZ in a gallon of water and you're good to go. Save as much as you can for repeat rinsings.

@jakeanddar

ewww - Just what I always wanted - a brew with subtle KY Jelly taste notes!

[Dactat]

I prefer Iodaphor. Instead of a teaspoon per liter, iodaphor says to use a teaspoon per gallon and a half. Although iodaphor doesn't clean.

@Wayner665 Diversol is the pink stuff you have.

[Wayner665]

Look up the MSDS of Diversol. It's a sanitizing detergent. Bleach may sanitize, but it doesn't work like a detergent. Diversol will break down and loosen debris and sanitize at the same time. It's really good stuff. It needs to be rinsed really well though.
