tubing, brew kettle. autosiphon, etc? Or is it safe on everything for cleaning?
I used it in my aluminum pot and figured it's ruined. I've heard I can scrub the hell out of it and it might fix it but I dunno. It's definitely a different color and not smooth, I figured some kind of oxidation process happened would affect my wort.

Anything OxiClean Free isn't good for?
Bottle conditioning.
You can boil a vinegar and water solution to remove oxidation from aluminum. Something on the order of 1 tbsp per quart. It smells pretty bad, so do it outside. It does work, though, and only takes 10 or 20 minutes. No scrubbing necessary, just boil, drain and rinse.
I've had to do this on my aluminum pressure cooker every now and then.
