Is oxi-clean OK to use on a sanke keggle to remove brew scale?
What strength solution? Should or does it have to be soaked?

You're not going to hurt the SS, but what you have might be better suited for caustic cleaning.

i use it on my corney's occasionally, but i've heard horror stories from the internet, so i only let it soak a couple hours at the most.

I use Barkeepers Friend on my sanke boil kettle and it works great. I also use oxiclean in my pepsi kegs, but as mentioned only for a couple of hours.

PBW and Starsan is what I use.
No problems with the length of the soak.

I use PBW and a bit of elbow grease to remove beerstone from time to time.
