Cooking in, and then cleaning SS Keggle

[ericinthewoods]

This weekend I had a low country boil that required 12 gallons. We cooked seafood and a bunch of salt/spices in my keggle. When I rinsed out the keggle, it was definitely more shiny than when we started. Am I taking any risks if I only clean my keggle with PBW? Does anyone know if I need to take any extra steps to ensure that I don't contaminate my next brew? Am I overlooking any necessary chemical processes?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I use my kettle to boil crab legs (our annual New year's thing with friends). Afterwards I fill it to the rim with hot water and Oxy, let it soak overnight. Drain, rinse a couple times, never a problem. I can't even smell anything from the boil.

The PBW soak should do the trick. Your low country boil probably cleaned off the beer stone. That might be why it's shinier.

Edit: If your keggle has a valve, you should take it apart and clean it.
