After my brew day I usually soak my boil kettle in a star san solution overnight, including my copper chiller.
Problem is, I forgot to drain and rinse the next morning and it was another week until I removed the copper coil. (went on vacation and completely forgot about draining kettle).
Nice layer of greenish blue film/chalk on outside of coil as you can see in the pictures. It also turned the inside of my boil kettle the same color.
I was planning on giving everything a real good scrub down with PBW, rinse, then a quick spray down of a Star San mixture.
Take a look at the coil in the pictures below, anything I need to be concerned about with the coil and kettle, assuming I can remove all of the greenish crud and clean everything really well?
Thanks in advance!
