Chris,
If stainless steel, I would suggest something non-abrasive such as hot water
and some lye (about 1 tablespoon per gallon).
Scrubbing may scratch the brew pot and will make it even harder to clean
next time.
This solution will dissolve any leftover oils and kill any nasties also.
If you have the time, let it soak for 3-4 days and you won't even have to
scrub (I use this same method, although it takes 2-3 weeks, to clean up very
old and crusty cast iron cookware).
The waste water should be fine to flush or rinse down the drain.
Rinse very thoroughly. I use a garden hose in the driveway, with the pot
opening pointing away from me and reaching around to spray the water into
the pot.
(Make sure you wear gloves and old clothes and DO NOT get any of the
solution on your skin or in your eyes. If you do, immediately rinse with
lots of cool water.)
