so i found this huge pot in my parents garage. its 17.6 gallons. its aluminum.
i didnt think i was going to do boils this big and i have a turkey fryer so i never used it for brewing.
i was using it for my swamp cooler in my basement. i put in some idophor ad one point to keep mold from growing in the water. and at another time i put in starsan.
its been down there for quite some time now. i just dumped the water thats been in it and i noticed a blueish gray tint on the bottom and some of the sides. with a ring from the bottom of the ale pail on the bottom.
is the pot ruined? can i use oxyclean,
should i go at it with a wire wheel and clean out the entire thing?
here are some pictures of it.
