Cleaning ss brewtech kettle

[bendog15]

I realize this may be the wrong area to post this, but I can’t post in Equipment/Sanitization for some reason.
Just got a new electric ss brewtech kettle. It says specifically not to clean with oxyclean. My old keggle I would just fill with oxyclean and water, dump all my equipment in there, immersion chiller, hoses, etc and let sit for hours, overnight even. Then rinse and put away.
Does anyone own a ss brewtech kettle and if so, what do you clean it with?

A citric acid steep with hot water will do it.

I use PBW for cleaning and Star san for sanitizing in my SsBrewtech kettles and fermenters. They recommend those for their products. I think the reason is the peroxide based cleaners are too harsh and can eat away at the etched gallon markings inside.

I used TSP on my SSBretech fermenters before I used them. I think instructions said to do this. After that I just use dawn dish soap and a soft cloth. Don't use scrubbies, they remove the etched markings....

+1 PBW
And I used one of these for when a little scrubbing is necessary: https://www.target.com/p/munchkin-deluxe-bottle-brush/-/A-13991501
Just dip in the hot PBW, and just make big circles with your arm. Since the brush is round, no need to turn it, or the kettle, and twist your wrist in weird positions.
Great for cleaning coils, and fermentors, and even kegs.

I used pbw for the first time cleaning my ss brewtech kettle. With a “scrub daddy” sponge. Recirculated the pbw and water for 10 min and let soak for 30 min. Then rinsed out. Unfortunately one of the etched gallon markers got wiped off (just part of it). So in the future I guess I’ll avoid scrubbing the area of the kettle with the gallon markings. Bummer but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong here...
