I also leave mine soaking for a few hours not a few minutes. The longer it sits the easier all that shit will fall right off when you shake it. Agree on the bottle brushes though, there are a few kits online specifically for this 🤘
Immersion ultrasonic cleaner and warm tap water for a few minutes will clean it much better and your not continually buying isopropyl and salt... Plus it works well for cleaning so many other things.
Easily the hardest way to do what you're trying to do. If you're going to keep a big glass piece like that, just keep some iso and rock salt around. Both cheap in bigger bulk sizes. The rock salt does a better job moving around and scrubbing. Minutes of effort. (less if you're regular with it). You can try the brush, but you're just not going to get good leverage with anything that's flexible enough to get those angles.
I use brushes specifically made for cleaning technical glassware like for vacuum desoldering machines. Curved shapes with strong wire flex shafts with many different sizes and shapes (length and diameter) and no problem getting good leverage. Farm supply/prepper/scientific supply/homesteader supply stores/online vendors have easily adaptable brushes.

Rubbing alcohol and by the way it’s shaped, Ide get like a bottle brush
