Ok, so leaving stuff to soak in cleaning solution without thinking about the effect on metal...... is not a good idea.

The 'clips' on the chiller coil have reacted somewhat:

Is this going to be a problem? I'm thinking that if i coat them in vaseline and they aren't actually in the beer it 'should' be ok? Any thoughts about cleaning them up?

Also I left the solution in the mashtun for a while and while there doesn't seem to be any problem with the valve etc I can't remember if the washer was always this colour?

Am I paranoid or have I screwed it up?

Any advice appreciated !
thanks
John

get yourself a non acid sanitizer for all your metal stuff for soaking, i use chemipro oxiclean

 

[PD]

you would be better off getting some stainless steel jubilee clips...

Thanks Guys

Pd any idea how to get the existing clips off? Looks like they are crimped on?

Small hacksaw, and be careful...if you cut the lug off one side you then use pliers...refit with SS clip. :thumb:
