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.

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