Elbow grease!

You can use a stainless scourer if you're not worried about the finish, and ANYTHING will come off. Because it's on the outside of your boiler you don't have to worry about infection risk (scratched surface and all that), so get stuck in.

There's stuff you can use to stop foamovers, but I've no idea what it's called.

Hi Tom,
It's the base on the inside of the boiler.

Caustic?

Ah, gotcha. I've never scorched the bottom, so I don't know, then. Is there an element too?

Lemon juice. Squeeze a fresh lemon onto it and leave a puddle of juice there for an hour or so. It'll then lift off when you touch it. That's how I clean my buffalo element

I acquired some used cornies which had been steam sterilised and which had a thick layer of baked wort on them, I used hot caustic with W5 added but it took about a week of soaking, it all came off eventually

Cheap cola bring to the boil and leave to cool will just wipe off
