My last brew I noticed lots of floaties in the mash water as I was heating it. My HLT is the same pot I use for the boil later on as well.
I'm cleaning it today and noticing the brownish layer formed on the bottom of my kettle is now flaking off. I'm wondering if it is beerstone. This actually happened once before with this kettle. I soaked the bottom a bit with PBW and scrubbed the layer away which worked pretty easily and then just boiled some water in the kettle before using again.
My questions are:

My questions are:
- Am I right in thinking it's beerstone
- Should I be concerned about the "beerstone" beer I just made?
- Any tips for cleaning aluminum? I need to just bite the bullet and by something stainless.
