Grainfather cleaning

Barkeepers Friend. It’ll also take care of any rust marks that develop. Yes, it’s mildly abrasive, but leaving minor scratch marks in your hot side equipment really doesn’t matter. Just don’t do that on a conical.

Also, as soon as you finish sparging and remove the spent grain tube, make a habit of scraping the bottom with your mash paddle so there’s less opportunity for scorching, lowers the odds of the fuse tripping, and will increase ever so slightly the vigor of your boil.

I too have a Grainfather and I sometimes get scorch marks after the boil, but I can easily clean with warm water, freshly squeezed lemon juice and a stainless steel sponge. PBW is what I use to clean the Grainfather and the CFC.
