    There is a tiny piece of krausen left of from a Wyeast German Ale fermentation. This little thing has survived multiple PBW soakings that easily obliterated everything else. I scrub it with a soft red brush for plastic carboys and it barely takes anything off. Any advice for finishing this piece of crud off? Should I even be worried? After a few weeks + PBW and bleach soakings I doubt anything is still alive in there. Sorry for the terrible pic I only have a phone camera and lighting is hard a night:slight_frown:.

    PBW works on organic material. It is probably beer stone, use acid on that. Star San or Distilled vinegar would do the trick.

    The vinegar got most of it off thanks.
