Hi,
First time using this new "Mega pot" kettle. I just filled it with 5 gallons of water, albeit, lime heavy tap water and brought to a near boil, before turning of the burner and propane tank to run to the store to get spring water. Upon returning just now, I noticed this in the bottom of my kettle. I tried to scrape it off with my fingernail, but no luck.
What caused this and what is it? I am using a 200,000 btu (20psi hose only tho). The flame was slightly lapping the edge of the side walls.
EDIT:
I used a pumice stone and it removed the stain with minimal effort and seemingly no scratching to the stainless steel. Woot woot Moving forward with brew day! (Though, I'd still like 5o know what it was.)
