Finished racking my Brown ale to my secondary from my 6.5 gal glass carboy.
After cleaning with oxyclean, using my carboy cleaner 'wand' (the metal rod with blue paddles), then sanitized it.
I noticed quite a few stress fractures around the neck which looks like scratches for the carboy cleaner rod. [attached photo]
I'm concerned here.
Is this a fairly common issue?
Or do i have to go to the LBS and get another carboy?
