Starsan works great for removing burnt malt stains

So was trying to scrub the bottom of my kettle from the usual caked on spots above the elements and got lazy so just sprayed some starsan on and left it for a while.
A while turned into next day due to the above lazyness and I noticed that once it dried, you could just peel off the spots as it had gone all brittle and was left with a nice shiny kettle with barely any effort.
Tested it twice now and it seems to work really well and much easier than scrubbing!

Nice! I had a hell of a time getting it off last time. Will try this next time.

Yep, it works. Star-san isn't a cleaner exactly but if you leave as strong version of it on that stuff at the bottom of the kettle for a while it will indeed come off.

If you heat it to ~140F it works even better...
