So, about 3 months ago I got a couple brand new Blichmann Boilermakers as I was starting to assemble all the bits and pieces to get into all grain brewing. When they came in the boxes were fine and after a quick look over everything, I didn't notice anything.
Then I finally got around to my first brew and when I was scrubbing out the boil kettle, lightly with a nylon dish-brush-thingy, I noticed a couple hairline cracks on the inside of the pot! There was no leaking or weeping going on during the fairly mild boil, but I'm wondering if this is a fairly common occurrence and fine as long as it ain't leakin' or if this is something I should contact them about.
I've done a number of searches about this subject but can't find anything other than cracks caused by welding, but the cracks I've found are on the sides of the pot nowhere near any welds.
Any input would be great!
