The Worm gives little black flakes after cleaning

Post by Gerude »

Hi there, i bought a small second hand Still from a Guy i know.
I read a lot here and watchd even more on youtube like barley and hops, still it and bearded and bored.

My Still is Metall (Boiler) and Copper (worm) - the Boiler is clean as it can be. But the Worm...

At first 551 from BarleyNHops - 3 Times everytime for several hours. (Big Flake outcome)
Second a 50/50 run Vinegar and Water - no Flake outcome, just Blue/green "water"
Third i made a 20% Vodka run - litte Black flakes...

Looks like this

So ya i dont know what to do now. ^^ - give it a 551 bath again? I thought about a Pipe Cleaner... but the Worm is not so big plus i dont have any, specially not in the length i need it. So please i really need help here.

Thank you and have a nice day
