It foams, but I fill it to the top and just leave it overnight to clean the deposits. In the morning I dump, flush with clean water and don't even need to brush.
I have been using 1 part oxyclean free to 2 parts seventh generation dish washing powder.
Cleans everything and leaves no mineral deposits if I forget about it for a couple days.
Flush everything with fresh water.
Works on glass, stainless, plastic... Everything.
It's easy and cheap.
Look at the "show me your brew sculpture".... Lots of ideas.
Here is mine. It's the brutus 10 on steroids

Thanks! do you have a model number by any chance? I'd love to learn more about them and compare to the other valves that are scattered on this site.
What are the pros and cons to using these?
Totally agree. I called them to try and find out who makes it and what valves they use.
They said they would call me back in 48 hours......I'll post as soon as I hear back.
You too can brew......if you have $45,000 !!!!??
take a look
Anyone know what kind of valves those are?
or build it yourself....save a bundle and be proud.
My system
Mine is a bit of both.
I wanted to make sure that I could take it apart for cleaning, so there are tons of quick disconnects.
Take a look.....I love it and would not change a thing other then go to 55gallons!!!!!
