I've got these weird streaks on my 3 gallon carboy that don't go away no matter what I do. Have run PBW a bunch of times. Saw a reference to acid treatment so I poured some lactic acid (had some lying around) over them. I've rinsed, washed and scrubbed with brushes, and they always come back.

I haven't used it in a while because the last two or three batches went off. It's likely unrelated, I have really aggressive mold that grows on the side of the building so one false step can be the end (dry hopping is always precarious and stressful). I may just give it a shot, maybe after leaving it filled with Star San for a few days.

Any thoughts.
