I havnt had 6 taps running in a while and must have left Starsan in the lines. After cleaning the taps and shanks yesterday I noticed one of the chrome shanks has some green corrosion in it. Could I just run the usual perc then starsan and then water to rinse to clean it out? Or will it corrode with beer in it?

Ill get 3 more ss shanks when I can but Im a bit broke after my xmas spend up.
 
Already happened i think. Ill have to wait to pay day and get some ss shanks. Dont need the corroded one atm but i did 3 cubes today so ill need it soon Australia day coming up.
 
the green is a toxic copper oxide. remove before drinking from that tap
