Hi all,

just a quick query for all you guy's with far more knowledge than me
what's the best way to clean the inside of a parrot and alembic head?

cheers

Block the output flow tube of the parrot, make a mix of vinegar + salt + water and fill it up. Leave to stand for 1 hour and then flush it out with water, clean as a whistle.

If the head is normal copper wipe it with the same solution and wash it off when you wash the parrot.

thanks vino.

the head is copper. do I flush it thru to clean it?

These days I tend to use a hot solution of Citric acid for copper cleaning, it is cheap enough, if bought in bulk and seems to work well.
Finding ways of using it on/in the twists and turns of your own copper
ware is your personal problem!

I went down the route of using citric acid.
