Cleaning Old Carboys

[ronniedeb]

These 4 glass carboys have been in the shed for about 15 years. Dont know who had them, or what they used them for. I cleaned them with Chemipro. One smelled of wood varnish before cleaning and does still. The others look and smell fine, but I'm still wary. Is there any kind of cleaning procedure I can do to make them ready for brewing. Would be handy for splitting a batch for using different yeasts, dryhops etc.
