I have used Barkeeper's Friend to clean an old, abused keg that I turned into my kettle. It was filthy and BF was the only thing that worked to bring it back to a shine. My question is, should I boil some water in the kettle for an extended amount of time (1 hr) and drain before brew day? Any insights would be great. Cheers
I use it on my brew kettle after each session. I just rinse it well and dry it. Never noticed any off flavors. Cheers!
I haven't used it on brewing equipment, but we use it all the time on our cookware and haven't had issues with a thorough rinse.
it's just oxalic acid which iirc can give you the runs if you ingest too much of it but i think that is the worst it can do if you don't do a good job rinsing. I could be wrong though... Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalic_acid
