When I did my lambic a few weeks back I figured I'd be smart and mash in my kettle. That way if I didn't hit my temps with my multiple infusions (turbid mash) I could put the heat to it to get it where it needed to be.
It worked fine and I was vigilant about stirring as I heated, but I guess I missed a spot and ended up with this:
Any ideas?

Aluminum.
I read on the Homebrewtalk forms that 3M scrubby pads would work, but I thought I'd ask the real experts first.

I have some PBW if you want to try that. Soak for a while. nylon scrub brush.
Just a thought I have never had to do it, yet.

Yeah, I did that before too. Hard not to do with the thick decoctions.

Use anything but strong caustics, which eats aluminum. I'd be careful about soaking in PBW. Just use scrubby pads and arm power.
