  Sodium carbonate in low wines seems to clean.

  Fill the boiler – heat to 50*C +

  Add sodium percarbonate or unscented napisan

  Leave to soak for a little while and should be sparkling

  Cheers

  Keep your hot backset in the boiler and fill with hot water, add a heap of citric acid if you like…. and boil the fuck out of it 😉

  Or leave all the scum stuck to the sides to add a nice manky flavor when you start doing rums 😆

  I have a keg just for rum, it’s got this wonderful brown tinge to it inside…. I wouldnt dare clean it 😎

  Mine had a small amount of staining in it just in the lower part from before I started doing stripped washes.
  The last few washes I have put through have all been stripped. After I finished running the still today with stripped TPW I gave it a quick rub with one of those green scourer things, the stains came straight off.
  Mine has the external element so yours might not be so easy
