No I don't think so, plus if it was beer clean they wouldn't be hanging around.

It would only take 20 minutes and less water with a bucket blaster.

I'm sure I can wash and clean and sanitize a keg in less than 20 minutes using water cloth then starsan
If you look at the opening post, the problem was cleaning the keg king chubby, which has a very small opening.
What if you can't get your hand in?
What if it is stainless steel and there are parts inside that you can't see?

I have a very skinny arm.

If it was stainless I'd use hot PBW recirculated with pump and spray ball. Plus take any clamps and valves off if Tri clamps and clean separately.
As I said the opening post was regarding A PET FERMENTER WITH A SMALL OPENING THAT HE COULDN'T GET HIS HAND IN

I realised that, don't have a SS conical and only pet fermenters.As I said the opening post was regarding A PET FERMENTER WITH A SMALL OPENING THAT HE COULDN'T GET HIS HAND IN
At one stage I had a long handled microfibre brush that was from a japanese goods shop for cleaning water bottles. It was great but the wire snapped at the handle join which was a real shame. Haven't found another so I'm warm not hot PBW and then using a cloth and my skinny arm. Which doesn't help the OP at all.

I have 12 large water tanks around my property, so I have plenty of water, not in a rush to clean the fermenters as others are on standby, now power source needed. Made a bucket blaster with a powerful Ozito pump and a spray ball didn't work as well as a good soak.
I always find it a PIA to clean the cooling coils in my Fermenters . I use the hand held steam cleaner that we have very good at shifting anything in awkward places then just the normal clean .

I have tried cip a couple of times.
It didn't impress me. I went back to caustic and a brush.
CIP is a big thing in industry, are we missing something?
