schematix: so, you made the mistake of soaking your plate chiller in Star San and it is now completely useless, but it had nothing to do with soaking it in Star San?!

I know that it was mentioned, but I was wondering if there were an authoritative source that would let you see picture examples of lasting damage, that's all. Blichmann is incredibly verbose in saying that you must avoid long soaks in acid sanitizer, especially star san, as it will cause...
