Cleaning ss packers and colum

If i use a citric acid solution to scrub still what amount of citric acid to warm water are we talking here?

Also will a citric bath clean up stainless packers
Mine have got the funky smell on them and soaking in hot water overnight doesn't seem to do much.

I've boiled in vinegar on my old still which worked quite well.
Citric is cheap and as a result I've never measured.
Two or three in a 200L drum for soaking copper has worked for me.

1tsp per litre is all you need to clean up copper but I don’t think it’ll clean up your ss, I’d try the dishwasher or a good clean in warm soapy water and a real good rinse
